Flowers and apples make up the nose of the 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Chalumeaux. This fleshy, light to medium-bodied wine is elegant, pure, and focused. It displays a gorgeous flavor profile of pear skins, minerals, and spices that lingers in its lengthy, delineated finish. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2012.
