Goedhuis, December 2018
This premier cru is found as the Puligny slope climbs up towards the village of Blagny, and rumour has it there are still truffles to be found at the foot of the oak tree if you are quick enough. When we reached this point in the tasting it was evident we had left the village of Chassagne and stepped into Puligny’s ethereal realms, where piercing, lacy acidity danced alongside fine-boned fruit. With steely, razor-sharp precision, it will give any 2014 a run for its money.

Burghound, June 2019, Score: 93
A smoky nose features notes of spiced apple, acacia blossom, lemon zest and a suggestion of clove. There is once again excellent punch and delineation to the super-stony medium-bodied flavors that display the natural refinement of a Puligny 1er, all wrapped in a beautifully long and well-balanced finale. Once again, this needs better depth but more will almost certainly develop if 4 to 6 years of cellaring is allowed. Sweet spot. Outstanding. Drink 2025+

Stephen Tanzer, September 2018, Score: 90-93
Aromas of lemon, underripe pineapple, dusty stone and crushed herbs suggest a dry, savory wine. Concentrated, fresh and intense, with lovely balancing acidity; a tad edgy compared to the Blanchot Dessus but not hard. A bit medicinal on the juicy, tightly wound back end. This is not yet showing the aromatic development of the Blanchot Dessus and will likely need more time in bottle.

Domaine Bruno Colin
Bruno’s estate is spread across an impressive 30+ different parcels in Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet and St Aubin. From 2016 onwards, his portfolio includes Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Desmoiselles and Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru, passed down to him by his father, Michel, who has stepped into retirement (Michel Colin-Deleger’s estate was divided between his two sons, Bruno and Philippe). Bruno’s style blends Burgundy's tell-tale minerality with luxuriant fruit. The wines tend to display generous concentration with vibrant drive. Many have the potential to age beautifully but Bruno’s wines are also notable for their open approachability in youth. His wide range of Chassagne Montrachet premiers crus captures the diverse expression of the appellation.Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
