Domaine Jean Chartron, La Pucelle Monopole 1er Cru 2023, Puligny-Montrachet

Domaine Jean Chartron Clos de la Pucelle Monopole 1er Cru 2023, Puligny-Montrachet — Burgundy, France

Held exclusively by the Chartron family since 1917, this historic monopole 1er Cru yields a Puligny-Montrachet of extraordinary pedigree, grace, and concentration. The 2023 vintage pairs vibrant energy with a velvety, luxurious profile, making it a prized centerpiece for fine wine collectors and long-term cellaring.

Classification: Premier Cru

Tasting Notes: The nose unfolds with delicate yellow blossoms, lemon thyme, and a distinct mineral lift. On the palate, a creamy, pastry-like texture offers lush layers of stone fruit and subtle spice, beautifully framed by a fine seam of mouthwatering acidity. The finish is remarkably long and harmonious, lingering with notes of ripe apricot and crushed limestone. Decant for 45 to 60 minutes prior to serving slightly cool to allow its full complexity to emerge. Pair this with butter-poached lobster, pan-seared sea scallops, or classic roast chicken in a rich cream sauce.

Varietals: 100% Chardonnay
