The lively Puligny-Montrachet Les Levrons offers floral, mineral and honeysuckle aromas. A medium-bodied, rich, and well-crafted wine, its flavors are dominated by pears, stones and buttered toast. It should be consumed by 2001. What's Javillier's spin on the 1996 vintage? "It has the most perfect balance between body, acid, fruit, extract, and purity in my lifetime." All the "regular cuvees" were bottled in September, 1997.
