Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Chalumeaux" 2007, Domaine Matrot
Les Chalumeaux is a 1er cru lieu-dit fairly high on the hill close to Blagny and at an equivalent altitude as Les Folatières and the upper reaches of Meursault-Perrières. The top soil here is lighter than further down the Côte. This Puligny-Chalumeaux tasted at the domaine has an intriguing aroma of honey roast ham, red apple and sweet chestnuts. Apple and cherry flavours laced with lime and lemon with a pleasing sweetness. Well crafted for the Burgundy connaisseur this Puligny still needs, in my humble opinion, another 2 years to fully spread its wings. Would be a shame to miss out on the complexity.
