Joseph Drouhin Puligny-Montrachet Blanc 2022

Winemaking
This Puligny-Montrachet is a pure expression of white Burgundy elegance. Joseph Drouhin employs sustainable viticulture and gentle winemaking, including slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels (20–30% new) and ageing on fine lees for 12 months. The result is a wine of structure, silkiness, and minerality, perfectly echoing the limestone-rich terroir of the Côte de Beaune.

Bouquet
The nose is precise and perfumed, offering white blossom, lemon peel, green apple, and chalky mineral tones. Subtle notes of almond, light toast, and flint add finesse and intrigue.

Palate
Taut and elegant with a racy backbone of acidity, this wine delivers citrus, crisp pear, and wet stone flavours with quiet confidence. The oak is seamlessly integrated, giving body and refinement without distraction. It finishes long, pure, and saline—a classic, timeless style that showcases the pedigree of Puligny.

Food Pairing
Pair with delicate seafood such as scallop ceviche, poached snapper, or oysters with mignonette. It’s also a beautiful match for creamy goat cheese, roast chicken with lemon and thyme, or risotto primavera.

Cellaring
Enjoy from 2024 to 2032. While already harmonious, it will gain further complexity and textural depth with careful cellaring.

Interesting Fact
Joseph Drouhin has been crafting wines in Burgundy since 1880. Their vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet lie near some of the region’s most revered Grand Cru plots, where Chardonnay finds its most refined and mineral-driven form.
