2013 Alex Gambal Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne

(91 Points) This arguably possesses the most elegant nose in the range with its cool, airy and admirably pure nose that combines notes of apple, acacia blossom, spice, wet stone and a hint of mandarin orange, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The oak is also present on the delicious and generously proportioned middle weight flavors that exhibit a lovely bead of minerality on the clean, dry and reasonably persistent finish. If this can add a bit more depth it should merit the upper end of my projected range. - Burghound
