Blain Gagnard Puligny Montrachet 2022

Note: from La Rue au Vache.

Here the expressive and slightly more elegant nose presents an array of white flowers, apple, pear and citrus confit. The finer but not denser middleweight flavors possess a sleek mouthfeel while offering very good length on the youthfully austere and chiseled finale that is just a bit more tightly wound. An aging curve of 5 to 8 years should see this quality effort at its apogee. 88 Points, drink 2028+. Allen Meadows, Burghound.
