Joseph Drouhin, Puligny Montrachet, 2022

Made famous by the illustrious Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard, Puligny has an ancient origin. Puligny may have belonged to a certain Pullius during the Roman empire.

That's ancient history - let's look instead at the last 30 years, where Puligny-Montrachet has established itself as a firm favourite among any serious lover of White Burg.

Here we have pebbled soil, which retains the day's heat and releases it during the night, bringing those grapes to full ripeness. Still with that trademark acidity, the ripeness brings stone and dried fruit.

Aged in Burgundian oak for 16 months, the whole affair is rounded of with a touch of toast.
