Jacques Prieur, Puligny Montrachet Combettes Vintage:2017 This is the first time

The wonderfully elegant, indeed almost delicate, middle weight flavors possess excellent punch and volume that carries over to the lightly mineral suffused finish. This is lovely and I particularly like the balance which should permit it to age
