2022 Joseph Drouhin Puligny-Montrachet Cote de Beaune

Winemaker Notes:  A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The color is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness. Long and persistent in the aftertaste, ending on an exceptional wealth of flavors, both floral and fruity.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "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. (89-91pts)"


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "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."


Burghound - "A more floral-suffused nose is comprised by notes of citrus confit, spice and apple compote. The succulent, round and impressively concentrated medium weight flavors that culminate in a markedly lemony, dry and refined finale. This is an excellent Puligny villages and worth checking out.*Outstanding Top value*"
