Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 2021

An exotic and beguiling Puligny-Montrachet of golden appearance, bursting with ripe tropical fruit; pineapple and guava. This is balanced by a concentrated jet of lime acidity and a fragrance of spicy oak on a medium to full palate, with lingering texture on the finish.
