A wine of great finesse distinguished and elegant. The colour is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness. Long and persistent in the aftertaste, ending on an exceptional wealth of flavours, both floral and fruity

Exuberant aromas of pear, citrus zest, white flowers, and toasty oak introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Village, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but precise wine that's charming and open-knit. Ripe and generous, this will drink well young.
Bursting with notes of pear, orange oil, white flowers, and toast, the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village is medium to full-bodied, charming, and enveloping, with succulent acids and a textural, giving profile. It will drink well young.
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Village reveals a pretty bouquet of white peach, lemon, citrus blossom, and beeswax. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, elegant, and glossy, with an open-knit, succulent profile. This will drink well on release.
The 2015 Puligny Montrachet Village has a delightful linden and lemon zest bouquet with a squeeze of fresh lime for good measure. The palate is medium bodied with a fine line of acidity that imbues this village cru with a touch more brightness than the Meursault, if not the same weight or viscosity. Nevertheless, this is a well-crafted Puligny from Drouhin that should represent good value for money once in bottle.
The 2014 Puligny Montrachet has a little more vivacity and precision than the Meursault, perhaps more mineralité too. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry with good weight, tons of freshly sliced lime and kiwi fruit here with a bravura of a finish. Not a complex Puligny, but it compensates with its joie-de-vivre.
The Puligny-Montrachet is plump, juicy, and immediate. It possesses good depth and balance at this level, even if some of the persistence trails off on the mid-palate and finish. Sweet apricots and peaches are layered into the generous, inviting finish.

If you're a wine enthusiast or simply enjoy indulging in a luxurious experience, then Joseph Drouhin's Puligny-Montrachet is a must-try French white wine. With its rich taste profile, this exquisite wine is a world-renowned product of the Burgundy region.

Joseph Drouhin, a family-run vineyard since 1880, has been producing premium wines for over a century. The vineyard is known for its dedication to preserving the terroir of Burgundy, ensuring that each wine captures the essence of the land from which it came.

The Puligny-Montrachet, made from Chardonnay grapes, has a complex and elegant flavour. On the nose, you'll detect aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle, and almonds, while on the palate, you'll taste hints of honey, vanilla, and buttery notes. The finish is long-lasting and leaves a pleasant minerality in your mouth.

This wine pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes, poultry, and creamy sauces. It's perfect for a special occasion, a romantic dinner, or simply for indulging in a luxurious experience.

It is one of the most important domains in Burgundy, with more than two thirds of the vineyards classified as Premier and Grand Crus.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
