Lovely pale lemon colour; a remarkably stylish nose with all the class of really top Puligny. Very linear but with lots of subtle nuances dancing around the core. Fresh acidity brings up a long finale.

The former Domaine René Manuel has been purchased by investors, the vineyards being split between Domaine des Comtes Lafon and Domaine Roulot while Dominique Lafon himself has moved production of his own label wines to the Manuel cellars in Meursault, as well as gaining some Bourgogne Blanc vines. Though Dominique operates officially under the status of negociant, all the wines are domaine grown and bottled except the Bourgogne Blanc, which will be next year.

Olivier’s Puligny Montrachet always delivers a deeper colour than his Meursault. It shows lovely yellow fruit, on the nose, hiding behind a matchstick reduction, and generous fruit including mirabelle plums on the palate. A luscious yet impeccably balanced wine, approachable early. .
