Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet’s Shining Hour
Louis Latour is not only the most recognized name in Burgundy history, but one whose reputation for quality is simply paramount. After all, 11 generations of Latours have cultivated vineyards in Burgundy, long before their portfolio included some of the most famous Grand Crus in Burgundy.
In short: They know how to produce exquisite wines from their bounty, and this is one of them. The 2017 Les Chalumeaux Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru is brilliant with aromatics of freshly cut yellow apple, yellow flowers, five-spice, toasted nuts, and stony minerals leaping from the glass. Focused and cut on the palate, it shows a taut texture and flavors of crisp apples, Bosc pear, baking spices, and fresh cream in an intoxicating combination. We suggest shopping by the case if you can.
Simply put, this is what every barrel-fermented Chardonnay aspires to be. If you are already in love with Côte d’Or whites, you know exactly what we’re talking about. If you are a fan of Chardonnay but haven’t tried a wine like this, well, you have one beautiful revelation ahead of you.
