Domaine d’Auvenay, Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres 2013 (Ex-Domaine)

Moderate golden color. The nose is quite firmly reduced with even a hint of sulfur so I would suggest decanting this for 15 minutes or so first. The palate impression though is more interesting with its racy, intense and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that offer excellent drive and focused power, all wrapped in a clean, dry and solidly complex finale. As the description suggests, this is clearly still on its way up and while I can’t say that I especially like the nose, the overall quality is excellent for its level. Tasted by Allen Meadows in November 2019.
