Jean-Marc Pillot - Puligny-Montrachet - Les Noyers Bret

Pillot's Puligny-Montrachet Noyer Brets - from just below the Enseignieres - smells effusively of apple, Bosc pear, and pink grapefruit, and displays correspondingly luscious fruit on the palate. While richness of fruit, a certain amplitude, and a nutty undertone all on exhibit here would be expected for a wine this low down on the Cote, there is more than enough citric refreshment and chalkiness here, too.
