Jean Chartron Puligny Montrachet 1Er Cru Clos De La Pucelle Monopole 2022 (750ml)
Pale gold with a silken sheen, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Pucelle Monopole 2022 (100% Chardonnay) opens with a graceful and aromatic nose—white acacia, lemon cream, pear skin, and chalk, underpinned by subtle hazelnut and flinty tension. Sourced from Jean Chartron’s exclusive monopole parcel bordering Bâtard-Montrachet, the wine is fermented and aged in French oak (approximately 25–30% new), with lees ageing and gentle bâtonnage for texture and depth. The palate is poised and textural—citrus oil, almond, and white stone fruit layered over a precise mineral spine. Brisk acidity lends energy, guiding into a long, saline, and subtly savoury finish. A refined and contemplative Puligny—expressive of place, purity, and quiet power.

01/2024 The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Pucelle 1er Cru is very perfumed on the nose, with scents of orange blossom, peach skin, and hints of hazelnut and lanolin in the background. Fine complexity here. The palate is well-balanced with a waxy texture, well-judged acidity and neatly integrated oak. A little spiciness towards the finish; this lingers temptingly after the wine has exited. A worthy follow-up to the 2021.

1.16 ha monopole of the domaine though some production is sold. Elegant and very fresh aromas include those of honeysuckle, Granny Smith apple and a plethora of floral nuances. The rich, caressing and generously proportioned, though once again decidedly punchy, middleweight flavors that are markedly drier while evidencing noticeable austerity on the balanced, tightly wound and built-to-age finale. This is classy and refined though at least moderate patience is strongly advised. Burghound Outstanding!
