Jean-Marc Pillot Puligny Montrachet Blanc Les Noyers Bret 2023

OUTSTANDING - An overtly floral-suffused nose reflects notes of white orchard fruit, citrus confit and a hint of dried herbs. There is better volume as well as a more refined texture to the more concentrated middle weight flavors that conclude in a very dry, complex and saliva-inducing finale. I like the balance and this offers fine quality for its level. Moreover, Noyer Bret always does better in warmer vintages and it's no surprise that it shines in 2023. 89-91 points, drink 2028+, William Kelley, Burghound.
