Ethereal Chard. Mature, expressive, nose that jumps out of the glass. Enjoyed at Le Montrachet in Puligny.

2001 vintage. Les Combettes. Pale golden hue. Whiff of consume on opening, honey and honeysuckle and chestnut. There is a salty, seaside seaweed smell on the nose that comes through after an hour of airing. On the palate, fabulous acidity and concentration, candied lemon peel, peach pieces and nutty - maybe a hint of oxidation. The finish is long and satisfying. A complex wine that is reaching its peak. Drink in next 3-5 years.
