In contrast to the Bouchard, this exhibited more fruit, less reduction; more length. Really a great Puligny and in great shape. — 5 years ago

Reduction, slighty sulphuric, flinty smoke. On the 2nd day it opened up with red apples and lemonpeel, still some flint and wet stones, very tight and fresh style. Minerality like drinking a quarry. Amazing value. — 6 years ago

Lots of character from age but also fresh... from a private stash housed “underneath” the Domaine’s cellar, I am told. — 6 years ago

I rediscovered this Domaine in Beaune at Dilletente. Never drink these wines in the first 10 years Lolo said…they need time….He was right. What a wines when they are mature. Speechless. D’Auvenay style and even quality. — 6 months ago

Les Chantreries - Chateau de Pommard -2001 : magnum . Liquoreux , charpenté, gros caractère, un peu moins gouleyant, touche d’acidité légère. Un bonheur. Joyeux noel. — 4 years ago

Something a bit funny here. A hint of melon. Lemon and limpid lime and rocks. Good, but lacks a bit of the punch and the jolt of acid you’d expect at this age. — 6 years ago

Continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

Nose shows similarities to Vincent Dauvissat. Honeysuckle-honeycomb, butterscotch, melted butter, biscuits, yellow florals.

The palate reveals good viscosity, round, long & thick. Meyer lemon, apricots, yellow peach, red & green apple, syrupy pineapple, white spice, limestone marl, grey volcanics, sea spray-saline, muddy chalk, flint, almonds, yellow & white flowers, excellent round acidity and beautiful, balanced, well polished, lush finish that lasts just over two-minutes and landing on spice & minerals.

Will merit another point or two w/ appropriate age (5 plus years) and is a better buy at $220 than the 22 Dauvissat for $20 more. — 5 months ago

Had 2 this day. Same wine just different vintages. They couldn’t have been further apart. The ‘95 was like a laser. The ‘98 was a bit more on the oxidative side. — 6 years ago
