The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village which comes from purchased fruit and matured in 20% new oak has a commendable presence on the nose: light tropical-tinged scents and traces of wet limestone coming through with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with good extract dried honey and light apricot notes on the mid-palate though it needs just a tad more mineralité on the finish. Drink over the next five to six years. (Drink between 2025-2032)

Offering up aromas of white peach apple blossom and freshly baked bread the 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village is medium-bodied ample and satiny with lively acids and a pretty fine-boned profile. This historic Beaune négociant house is also an important proprietor in its own right and one that's only growing with the acquisition last year of 20 additional hectares located in Saint-Romain and Saint-Véran. The Drouhin family remains committed to the ideal of elegance and the 2022 vintage has played into their hands in that respect producing a crop of sensual charming wines that come warmly recommended. Robert Drouhin told me that they're planning to extend white wine élevage?which I might have the temerity to suggest complementing with a more reductive handling in the cellar as I have tended to find recent vintages of the Laguiche Montrachet more glorious in the flush of youth than after a decade in the cellar.

Pale lemon yellow. Some oak showing and a fleshier style of Puligny though
