Tasting notes
The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet Village is poured next to the 2016 and cannot disguise the difference between this warmer growing season and a cooler one. Fine breadth on the nose, leaning slightly more toward the tropical side of the fruit spectrum. That comes through on the palate with impressive weight, though not the mineral drive of the 2016. I would drink this in the near future.

Jacques Carillon's 2015 Puligny Montrachet Villages was quite dramatic from tank, but it has tightened up a bit after bottling, unfurling in the glass with aromas of peach, white flowers and fresh pear. On the palate, the wine is elegant, medium to full-bodied and moderately concentrated. My suspicion is that this was a bit shut down after its recent bottling, and if so my score will look conservative.
Much broader and less defined than the 2016. Solid effort with, apparently, lower acidity. Lots of dancing on the back palate. (JR)
Peachy fruit dominates the nose. Lovely fruity, dry village wine with surprising energy. Leaner than I would have expected from the nose but boasts good precision. The slightly edgy finish displays good length. This wine has 4.1 grams per liter of acidity, according to Carillon.
