2022 Puligny Montrachet La Rue aux Vaches

From a village parcel just below Les Pucelles and Clos des Meix, this is always so different to Clos des Noyers Brets – with fleshier fruit. It’s playful on the nose, with different facets and fruits emerging with air. It’s broader on the palate, revealing its proximity to Premier Cru territory. A fantastic showing, it’s the best edition of this wine to date. With only a barrel produced, it’s bottled exclusively in magnum. The 2022 labels are one-offs, including a dedication to their son Pâris, who was born on 1st January 2022.
