The complex and distinctive aromas of Puligny are here in evidence: honey, honeysuckle, fresh almond. As the wine matures, these aromas evolve towards dried fruit notes and spice. On the palate, a very nice balance between freshness and velvety texture. There is even a firm backbone that gives this wine a strong structure. Exceptionally long on the aftertaste, with refined and floral notes throughout\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connoisseur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47792018489515,"sku":"RA036-19","price":928.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/joseph_drouhin_puligny_montrachet_1er_cru_folatieres.png?v=1789194583","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/joseph-drouhin-puligny-montrachet-1er-cru-folatieres-2019","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
