Domaine Cruchandeau, Puligny-Montrachet Hameau de Blagny 2016

Domaine Cruchandeau, Puligny-Montrachet Hameau de Blagny 2016 – from the top 1er cru vineyard of the Blagny area. It’s a serious wine that need some air and time. While it’s a Puligny it’s clearly dominated by the Blagny character – powerful acidity and a strong mineralty. A classic wine with very fine structure and depth – and with the right food its a lovely wine.
