Wine Advocate

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles was showing very well, opening in the glass with notes of fresh peach and pear mingled with notions of oatmeal, pastry cream and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, textural and fleshy, with fine concentration and structuring dry extract, good underlying acidity and a long, saline finish. -William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Vinous

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru was one cuve that was showing a little more reduction when I tasted the barrel sample. Skipping the aromatics, the palate is very well balanced with notes of orange peel and white peach, and a little more lime toward the finish compared to Les Combettes. Good length on the aftertaste and a little more viscosity. Very fine. -Neal Martin, Vinous
