2018 Jean-Louis Chavy Puligny-Montrachet White Burgundy, Burgundy, France   

A wave of freshness wafts from the glass revealing citrus blossom, stone fruit, and fresh apple; the aromatics precede a near-perfect palate. Pure and fantastically integrated, no one element pushes or pulls; rather, the flavors and textures effortlessly play off one another. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ White peach, chalky minerality, blanched almond, Anjou pear, spice and (barely) a hint of vanilla bean present on this endless finish. The warm 2018 vintage lends this particular Puligny to approachability now as well as fifteen years of enjoyment.
