The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chalumaux has a potent pear and gooseberry scented bouquet that feels very primal at the moment, not as expressive as some of its peers. The palate is well balanced with a sweet nougat note on the entry (possibly imparted by the barrel) with a pretty finish that just needs to develop a touch more weight and presence. Maybe this was one white Cru that I was expecting a little more from.
