Bouchard Puligny-Montrachet 2020
The Wine
This wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in partially new oak barrels for 10 months, resulting in a crisp minerality with a subtle toasted oak texture. It boasts a delightful stone fruit aroma with notes of white peach, apricot, and nectarine, complemented by flint and fresh Hawthorne, with undertones of vanilla and hazelnut. The palate is dominated by intense minerals, supported by creamy oak. Flavors of Meyer lemon, lime, white peach, yellow apples, and green pears are enhanced by sweet oak spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, adding layers and complexity as the wine breathes. The finish is taut and driven by minerals, offering an enjoyable complexity. It comes highly recommended!
