Puligny-Montrachet
South-west of the city of Beaune, between Volnay and Santenay in the Côte de Beaune, are a trio of villages - Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet and Meursault - where the almost monoculture of Pinot Noir in the rest of the Côte d’Or gives way to rows of Chardonnay and white wines rule supreme.

2023 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Domaine Berthelemot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% White
Chardonnay.
Fruit comes from two plots. 27% new oak. Touch of reduction on the nose but a bit of a swirl in the glass reveals white flowers & orchard fruits. Feels leaner than previous wines. Quite an elegant, delicate style. Pr...(read more)

2023 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Vieilles Vignes Domaine de la Choupette
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
From 40 year old vines in ‘Les Houlières’ (just 200m from the Thomas-Collardot parcel.) This is good and straight and muscular. A very 'Puligny' Puligny. Drive, tension and power are the key notes here, but there...(read more)

2023 PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Sous le Puits Domaine de la Choupette
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
This parcel is just 200m away from Chalumeaux - and higher up the slope. The nose here has a softness and a generous feel. But the tension builds quickly on the palate. This has great acidity - clean lines - tighter fram...(read more)

2023 CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Domaine Berthelemot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% White
Chardonnay.
2 plots. One planted in 1970, the other in 2006. 28% new oak. More expressive on the nose than the Pulignys. Fatter and broader but good verticality. Some tropical notes to the fruit and a lovely savoury edge too. This h...(read more)

2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Noyers Brets Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% White
Chardonnay.
First plot below Enseignères. More clay, so arguably not your typical Puligny, says Adrien.
Spicy apples and pears, touch of blossom, waxy lemons. Great mineral drive, wet stones. Amazing freshness, very good.

2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Les Chalumaux Domaine de la Choupette
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
Les Chalumaux is up high on the Cote - on the border with Meursault. Wonderful energy again - a light feel - less intense than the Sous Les Puits - but still good fresh drive and crackling citrus zip - which grows. Palat...(read more)

2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Les Nosroyes Domaine Thomas-Collardot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
A more subtle application of wood more easily allows the ripe and fresh aromas of citrus confit and a broader array of floral elements to be appreciated. The middle weight flavors are finer if a bit less concentrated whi...(read more)

2021 PULIGNY MONTRACHET La Rue Aux Vaches Domaine Thomas-Collardot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White

Pale with green reflections. Like all the wines here there's a frankness - rich and expressive on the entry, bright fruit and mineral lift - lovely balance.

2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Les Climats Domaine Thomas-Collardot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
(this used to be a blend of all of the domaine’s vineyards and hence the name; now however the two 1ers have been removed and as such, it is a blend of 6 villages-level lieux-dits). A mentholated top note is present on t...(read more)

Aromatic and beautifully layered, the 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Vieilles Vignes is complex but also understated. Moreover, it’s a terrific wine for the dinner table. What a gorgeous wine.
