2023 Jean Monnier Puligny-Montrachet

Puligny-Montrachet is the reference point for fine white Burgundy, and Monnier's village wine shows why. It comes from a single plot on marl and brown limestone and is given an extended, cool fermentation that favours line over weight. Where Meursault leans plush, Puligny is about cut and precision, a tighter, more mineral frame that carries fine length. One to drink now or hold a few years.

Domaine Jean Monnier (Meursault)
One of Burgundy's oldest family estates, working the Côte de Beaune since 1720, now in its sixteenth generation under Nicolas Monnier. Unusually makes near-equal white and red across Meursault, Puligny, Pommard, Volnay and Beaune; generous, classically built wines.
