2022 Berry Bros. & Rudd Puligny-Montrachet by Domaine Jean-Louis Chavy, Burgundy

Description

Located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, the village of Puligny-Montrachet itself forms a section of the renowned Côte d’Or. Together with its neighboring village, Chassagne, Puligny-Montrachet derives its name from the esteemed Grand Cru vineyard of Le Montrachet. While the village produces a small quantity of red wine, its acclaim primarily rests on its age-worthy white wines, and this bottle is a prime example. It is crafted for us by Jean-Louis Chavy, whose family has a long-standing history in the region.

Tasting note

Our Puligny-Montrachet has been made in collaboration with Jean-Louis Chavy. It comes from the fruit of 10 parcels of vines scattered throughout this famous village. Fermented and aged in (20% new) oak barrels, this is floral, zesty and fresh with subtle notes of vanilla spice. It glides across the palate with a creamy, lacy texture before finishing with a flourish of tangy freshness.

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
