Relatively rich middle here, slick ripe and well textured without being amazingly defined. Fruit is firm pear and some nice white fleshy peach. This is smart and proper and on par for good village Puligny. (Harvested September 22 -27. From 8 plots.) L&S (Nov 2017)

Pale, bright yellow. More subdued on the nose than the village Meursault, hinting at white peach and nuts. Juicy and silky but less plump than the Meursault, with harmonious citrussy acidity giving precision to the middle palate and prolonging the fresh fruit on the persistent, resounding finish. Delivers an attractive combination of concentration, delicacy and thrust. An excellent village wine. Drinking range: 2019 - 2026 Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2018)

An assemblage of seven plots in Puligny-Villages. This has a layer of mineral and stone, as well as light white peaches, citrus fruits, melons and grilled hazelnuts. The palate marries tautness with plenty of glycerol. Good weight. Overall elegant and fine. Drink now to 2022. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2018)

Touch of spice and cedary citrus, light oatmeal. More mineral and fresher than the Pouilly-Vinzelles just tasted. Firmer and more dense though not particularly long. Elegant and delicate aftertaste. Drinking range: 2018 - 2024 Rating: 16 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)

Joseph Drouhin

Despite the size of their vineyard holding, not all Drouhin's wines come from their own domaine, but most of the other wines do come from long-term contracts, such as exists with the Marquis de Laguiche wines. In all but name these wines are 'Domaine' wines, and the vineyards are cared for and the wines vinified with exactly the same care.
