2 years ago this was a hot disjointed mess. Now it is a borderline masterpiece. The tannins have resolved and unity reigns. Red fruit, vanilla, spice box. Lovely. I'm not sure if Nic Allen or Luc Morlet is the winemaker but kudos to whomever crafted this. — 11 years ago
LOVE. Thank you Greg St. Clair @ K@L. Amazing dried floral perfume grades into lovely re fruit. Resolved. Unity. — 13 years ago
@Ron R Speaking of tipping the scales; this is 16.2%. Smokey, earthy, brooding and offering loads of dark fruits, framed by dense yet clever tannins, toasty oak and enough acidity to let the unity fold nicely. Not my preferred style, but quality wise very impressive. — 10 years ago
Yum! Summatime vino! — 11 years ago

First nose brings fresh a dark fruit introduction which after first taste is tightly rounded with a beautiful balance of graphite, bullwhip leather and a bit of cocoa. We always love our 2005 Medoc crop and this sample us an extremely pleasant drinking bottle. The balance is what strikes me most here, spice box Jerry is in the house as well, but every flavor has a role all brought together in a smooth unity. I will rate a 91 at a great $20 pricepoint. — 11 years ago

Kind of like a Gose but more flavorful and richer. I love it. "Cidery but with more guts", was my first comment. — 10 years ago

Domaine Jean Chartron established in 1859 owns 13 hectares of vineyards - 16 appellations - 9 of which being in Puligny-Montrachet. The soil is a mixture of clay siliceous sand and lime components. 40 years the average age of the vines. Hand harvesting, neither herbicides, nor chemical pesticides are used in the vineyards. Behind the alchemical balance of the wine aging (élevage) in the woods, at the source of the new oak barrels there's always Allier and Vosges.
Even though 2011 in Burgundy's one of the most premature vintage in 300 years, I must admit that this bottle of the monopole Clos de la Pucelle was astonishingly crisp, persisten texture, a solid core of broom in bloom blowing up in your mouth, a shiny flow of mineral essence. Sourness and honey they were so well blended to spread the unity of opposites all over the go-between glass among you the others around and the wine.. though one bottle was a too much little thing! http://www.bourgogne-chartron.com/ — 10 years ago
