Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru “Les Pucelles” 2009
Medium yellow, lighter than the Meursault. Long legs within the glass. Moderately open on the nose, subtle white summer flowers and white fruits. The palate is layered, with white fruits (peach and pear) dominating a very full and concentrated wine. Feels a little hot in the mouth initially. Huge amount of body to this, very nicely balanced fruit and acidity. Underneath this there is a level of minerality that gives this wine poise and power. Remarkably good length. This is a fine wine. Undoubtedly has aging potential but equally enjoyable now. 17/20.
Château de Meursault Premier Cru 2008
Deep yellow. Nose of creamy French-oak vanilla. Lighter, more fruit orientated palate than the Puligny-Montrachet. More elegant in style and softer. Touch lower acidity, although still a little hot. Ripe and well rounded. White fruit characters also predominate. Less powerful finish. How will this develop with age? 16/20.
