Crystalline Puligny with razor-sharp minerals and electric tension.

Crystalline precision defines this premier cru. Nose delivers white citrus, wet limestone, subtle oak integration. Palate crackles with tension. Meyer lemon, chalk dust, brioche hints. Mineral backbone runs deep. Saline finish lingers endlessly. Classic Puligny structure with years ahead. Oak restraint allows terroir to shine. Will develop beautifully through 2028.
