From another of those family vineyards around Blagny that until the 1950s were still being pressed on location by Thierry Matrot’s grandfather, the 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Les Chalumeaux is seductively scented with lily, heliotrope, and high-toned, distilled pistachio, almond, and pit fruit essences; concentrates these fruits and flowers on a polished yet firmly-textured and invigoratingly citric palate; and finishes with saline savor of shrimp shell reduction and exhilarating lift. While Matrot is keen to bottle his wines in a reductive state, it strikes me that the volatility presupposed by this wine's kaleidoscopic, high-toned aromatic display implies a certain level of positive oxidation. But I am no chemists. All I can confidently report is that this represents an extraordinary expression of its vintage and high-altitude terroir, and one that I fully expect will remain fascinating for a decade
