2021 Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet, Burgundy

Unusual pink grapefruit and blood orange here. Substantial and zesty with positive tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Quite some drive at the long, crisp finish. Needs a bit of time for all this to fully harmonize. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.

A pale yellow color. Its nose is complex with notes of almond paste, vanilla and honeysuckle. Its mouth is ample and reveals, both, a beautiful balance and a nice tension on the finish.

Home to some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the 216 hectare geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. According to the history books, the village of Puligny gained its name from Puliniacus, a Gallo-Roman military encampment. The Montrachet aspect was added in the last century to stress the consistently excellent quality of the wines produced in the local vineyards.
