Assemblage et vinification

This Puligny-Montrachet Village 2023 is made from carefully selected Chardonnay in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Harvested at maturity, the grapes undergo gentle pressing to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Fermentation and élevage are managed with care to support the wine without constraining it, preserving its uprightness, aromatic clarity and fine energy. The work on the lees, handled with discernment, adds extra texture and complexity while respecting the purity of the profile. Far from stylistic effects, the approach seeks transparency, balance and tension, delivering a dry white of high precision—immediately appealing and promising for ageing. Each step, from vine to glass, is designed to translate Puligny’s natural grace, its distinctive minerality and its subtly brilliant expression.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Pale bright gold threaded with silvery highlights, clear and luminous. The visual radiance immediately announces a chiselled wine, both delicate and assured, whose density is hinted at by the fine tears edging the glass with restraint and elegance.
• Nose : A bouquet of rare distinction, blending citrus zest, white flowers and fresh almond, followed by a reminiscence of wet stone and fine chalk. With aeration, subtle stone-fruit notes and a touch of hazelnut emerge—never forced—underlining the depth without affecting the purity of the fruit.
• Palate : A straight, luminous attack, satin texture, a broad mid-palate kept in check by a salivating framework. The minerality stretches the finish, long and precise, with noble salinity and aromatic persistence evoking citrus pulp, acacia blossom and a finely chalky caress of great distinction.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Puligny-Montrachet at around 10 to 12°C in generous glasses to reveal its architecture and aromatic complexity. Opening the bottle about twenty minutes before service allows the wine to unfold and assert its mineral dimension. In youth, a gentle aeration enhances its freshness, while cellaring under stable, temperate conditions will consolidate its virtues and refine its touch. This dry Burgundy white naturally finds its place at the table where culinary precision meets the nobility of a great terroir, for a tasting of sovereign elegance.
