It's smooth to the first taste, growing very quickly to rich, big honey flavours and a strong acid finish.
I'm not a big drinker of white wine, although I must confess a weakness for Bret Brothers Pouilly Fuisse 2009
That's a very different kettle of fish to this Puligny-Montrachet (left) from Remigny, Saone et Loire.
This wine, at £29.99, is a lot more than I would usually pay for white.
Usually I limit myself to £15-20 for a half decent Sancerre or if I can find it, a white Bordeaux from the left bank (Cos D'estournel makes an excellent one, but it's not cheap)
This wine was a gift, however, but it makes it onto the blog purely due to its unusual character. Not what I expected, but nonetheless very tasty indeed. If you want to spend £30 on a big rich fine white, this Puligny-Montrachet is a good place to start.
My gift was from Sainsbury's, but I'm sure you can find this elsewhere too.
