The 2022 vintage, from April through September, brought nearly record-breaking heat and sunshine to Burgundy, but rain fell at just the right time. There was no water shortage in Puligny, and the white wine varieties were harvested with healthy fruit; the alcohol content was lower than in 2020, and the acidity remained only slightly lower. This combination results in a wine that, when poured into a glass, offers ripe citrus aromas and a palate supported by a solid yet light mineral foundation.
This is the very essence of the Puligny wine. Its liveliness stands out more than its richness. It may seem understated when young, but this is a pitfall unique to this domaine: the wine tends to be opened a bit too early. It is best enjoyed till 2034.

Pretty, cool and airy aromas of apple, pear, acacia and a whiff of lemon are complemented by delicious, beautifully textured and slightly more concentrated middle weight flavors that possess fine volume, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, clean, dry and well-balanced finale. This is a lovely Puligny villages that is surprisingly powerful. Well worth considering.

Pale yellow, firm bouquet as a little bit of sulphur at this stage. Clean, brisk, medium powerful. Fills out really well on the palate, with a grapey generosity. More spritz in a second sample, a tiny bit more alcohol, but excellent length. The third is crunchy and spicy. Excellent. Seven plots in all across the village Tasted Oct 2023.
