TN: passable Pernot Puligny

Aug 31, 2009 0 Replies

A humid morning turned into a lovely cool afternoon and evening, we had panko crusted lemon sole and roasted Brussels sprouts on the patio with the 2006  Pernot "Clos de la Garenne" Puligny Montrachet 1er, Food was great, wine was ok. Rather fat, a bit of vanilla, much rounder and less mineral/acid driven than I expect from Pernot. Big, sweet pears, a little hazelnut. Not really New Worldish, just more like say a 03 village Meursault than an 06 Puligny 1er. Tasty, but not profound, and surprisingly ready. Will drink in nearer term. B  



Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
