Tasting Notes
Just 13.2%, this is a really elegant Puligny – combining restrained fruit with the village’s classically taut character. It’s chalky, mineral, and tightly wound with impressive energy at the heart of the wine, showing promise for the future. White currants and pear mingle with pithy citrus, making for a beautifully pure and lithe wine.

Offering up aromas of white peach, apple blossom and freshly baked bread, the 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village is medium-bodied, ample and satiny, with lively acids and a pretty, fine-boned profile.
Pale lemon yellow. Some oak showing, and a fleshier style of Puligny though not too heated. Clean white fruit throughout with a crystalline note and a medium to long finish.
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village, which comes from purchased fruit and matured in 20% new oak, has a commendable presence on the nose: light tropical-tinged scents and traces of wet limestone coming through with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with good extract, dried honey, and light apricot notes on the mid-palate, though it needs just a tad more mineralité on the finish. Drink over the next five to six years.
