Tasting notes by Corney & Barrow
Puligny-Montrachet 2003
Fractionally paler colour of green gold. White fruits on the nose with a hint of walnut, but subtle and mineral too. The palate is creamy and ripe, full flavoured, almost liquorous, but with rich intensity and fine length. Drink in 2005.

Puligny-Montrachet 2003
Revealing fresh white fruits and herbs in the nose, the 2003 Puligny-Montrachet (white, 88-90) is another sensual, sexy wine. Poached pears, spices, notes of butter, and a powerful underlying minerality are found in its medium-bodied character. In addition, its long, expressive finish displays notce of toasted nuts-infused with lemon drops. Projected maturity : now-2011.

Fresh and peachy. Ripe and rich but really quite classic in flavours. This is a lovely example. From 2006.
