Tasting profile
A deep-gold, oak-influenced Chardonnay showing mineral, butter, citrus, honey and toasted almond notes alongside green apple on a well-balanced, slightly elevated acidity. Youthful yet structured and linear, it drinks as an elegant, well-rounded Puligny with the stuffing to age a few more years.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
