2004 Domaine Jomain Puligny-Montrachet
The warmth of Palm Springs always leaves Risqué looking to shed at least most of his clothes and lavish his parched throat with the lighter and crisper styles of the milk of Bacchus. While hunting through the racks of a favorite wine shop grabbing anything that might offer relief and grasping a few bottles of this Puligny-Montrachet. Loving Burgundy’s whites Risqué had high expectations and was not disappointed!
This is a delightful Burgundian Chardonnay that has a very light golden color with glints of green. The aromas are of a fine light minerality yet fragrant with bergamot. In the mouth, it is nicely balanced with a delightful acidity adding to the crisp green apple on the front with luscious pear, wild honey and a lingering finish of wet river stones.
The warm PS evening meandered and so did Risqué through both bottles which provided the sought respite.
Alcohol: 13% ($40)
