The Bouchards have made significant changes in their white winemaking philosophy. Since 1989 the white wines have been put through malolactic and vinified in barrels, of which 15% are new. More extensive lees contact, lower vineyard yields, and less traumatic clarification and filtration techniques, have resulted in the best group of white wines Bouchard has produced in over two decades. The overall quality level in 1992 is good to very good. The 1992 Puligny-Montrachet-Les Chalumeaux is medium-weight, soft, ripe, and elegant. It lacks the intensity and flavor depth of the two Meursaults. Importer: Palace Brands, Hartford, CT
