Maison Louis Latour Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Sous Les Puits 2022 – Puligny-Montrachet

The wine has a lemon yellow color of medium intensity. The nose offers freshness, tension and a fine tanginess. It expresses notes of green apple pulp, ripe lemon, crunchy apricot and fresh pineapple. After aeration, we find aromas of juicy peach, fresh flowers (white lily, acacia, linden, chamomile), hay in the background, honey, as well as a herbaceous touch of crushed peppermint and fresh quince, which bring freshness and originality. The aromas of oak and torrefaction are delicate and integrated – the wine expresses in particular notes of fresh hazelnut, roasted hazelnut in the background, vanilla and brown butter. The palate is fragrant, precise and complex. In attack, it expresses perceptible, but not exuberant, woody notes (toasted wood, fresh wood, toasted hazelnut), vanilla, crushed cardamom and brown butter. Then, we find the delicacy of stone fruits (yellow peach, apricot, yellow plum) and candied citrus fruits (candied lemon and orange peel, a touch of grapefruit jam), associated with floral notes of acacia and apple blossom, as well as a touch of linden honey and hay. The finish is fragrant, long, slightly bitter and fresh, thanks to a salivating acidity and tangy notes of green apple and fresh quince, which appear on the finish.
