(in direct contrast to the Blanchot Dessus, the yield here was lower than in 2016): Aromas of lemon, underripe pineapple, dusty stone and crushed herbs suggest a dry, savory wine. Concentrated, fresh and intense, with lovely balancing acidity; a tad edgy compared to the Blanchot Dessus but not hard. A bit medicinal on the juicy, tightly wound back end. This is not yet showing the aromatic development of the Blanchot Dessus and will likely need more time in bottle. (Incidentally, Colin pulled up his old vines in Puligny-Montrachet Les Demoiselles after the 2016 harvest and expects to replant this site in 2019.)
