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 Pucelles falls between the understated, restrained style of Les Champs Gains and the extroverted, fatter, richer style of Les Folatieres. Like all of these premier crus, as well as the Bourgogne-Chardonnay and village Meursault, Les Pucelles should be drunk over the next 6-8 years. Importer: Palace Brands, Hartford, CT
