Assemblage et vinification

This dry white Burgundy is made exclusively from chardonnay coming from the Puligny-Montrachet AOC, on the parcel Les Levrons. The 2023 vintage delivers a clean, expressive fruit supported by the village's characteristic mineral framework. Winemaking respects the integrity of the grapes and the reading of the terroir, favouring balance over opulence. A measured élevage en fût de chêne contributes buttery, toasty and gently vanilla nuances without masking the grape's natural brightness. The oak seasoning blends into the material to define the wine's contours, lift its texture and prolong its vibrancy. The result is a cuvée of delicate classicism, true to the spirit of Puligny-Montrachet, where precision guides every gesture.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Pale gold with golden highlights, clear and bright, announcing the freshness and contained density of the vintage.
• Nez : A subtle orchestra of fresh citrus, lemon and zest, joined by white peach and apricot. Pierre à fusil and wet stone mark the minerality, while buttery, toasty touches and a hint of vanilla surface elegantly.
• Bouche : Precise attack, a broad and silky mid-palate. Tonic tension stretches the material, revealing a perfectly integrated saline thread. The whole finishes long, straight and sapid, with great presence.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 11 and 13 °C in a large white wine glass to favour aromatic expression and textural nuances. A few minutes of aeration allows the toasty and mineral notes to harmonise with the fruit. This Puligny-Montrachet can be enjoyed now for its pure brightness or cellared to gain complexity. Store it quietly, at a stable temperature and away from light to preserve its freshness and clarity. Its potentiel de garde generally ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on your storage conditions and the evolution you seek.
