Pale golden yellow. The nose is fine, very elegant, vanilla, citrus and peach fragrances. On the palate the wine is opulent with honey, gingerbread, lovely freshness, good balance and long persistence.

Aromas of orange oil, lemon zest, green pear and freshly baked bread introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Pucelle, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that's, as usual, the more textural and gourmand of Chartron's two emblematic clos. Broad but precise, it has turned out well.
