Tasting notes
My second bottle of 2013 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères in 12 months confirms the quality of this wine. There is that signature trait of white chocolate on the nose, flanked by aromas of white flowers and maybe heightened marine-like notes less noticeable on the previous bottle. The palate is imbued with exquisite balance, more saline then I recall and suggesting an element of botrytised fruit that contrasts with what feels like a malic/steely finish. So much energy here - a complex and thoroughly engaging wine from Jean-François. Tasted at Le Bristor de l'Hôtel in Beaune.

The 2013 Puligny Montrachet Les Enseignères from Coche-Dury has a beautifully defined bouquet with white flowers and even a touch of white chocolate. This is much more expressive than the previous bottle that I tasted. It is beautifully balanced with just a touch of fatness, implying perhaps a little botrytised fruit. However the acidity is succinctly judged and it boasts impressive mineralité on the malic finish. This has certainly improved in recent months.
