Production Details Matured for 18 months. Estate harvest context reported by Latimer: picking began in Puligny on 5 September, between 06:00 and 13:30 during the heat; grapes were transported in temperature-controlled trucks and cooled overnight before pressing in the air-conditioned winery. The stated start date applies to Puligny picking, not necessarily the wine's complete Puligny-and-Chassagne harvest.
Tasting Notes Latimer describes ripe, juicy green apple, citrus and white peach with a fresh acidic finish. Jasper Morris MW describes a pale wine with an almost nutty nose, flesh and excellent tension.
