Puligny-Montrachet “Les Meix” 2017, Olivier Leflaive

Is 2017 a good year or an excellent year for Puligny? Seemingly it has the potential to be excellent. The more appropriate question is whether it can be excellent and true to the minerality and finesse of the terroir. This Puligny 2017 is definitely typical. Lemon, mineral, linear and balanced. Fresh, well-defined, classic and classy. A banker to put into a blind-tasting. At £44.16 per bottle in bond, from Corney & Barrow, it needs to be excellent and classic.
