2022 Puligny-Montrachet, Champ Gain, 1er Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Description

The altitude of this vineyard (at the top of an, already high, vineyard that abuts St Aubin at the top of Le Montrachet) is well-illustrated in this wine. There is white pepper, citrus lime and a well-delineated palate. It was harvested relatively late on 2nd September but nevertheless still very pure, with the suggestion of a clenched fist of mineral fruit. Drink 2027-2040.

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.
