Domaine Bruno Colin - Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru - La Truffière - White - 2023

Wine:

From a particularly stony plot planted with vines aged 35 to 70 years, the 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru La Truffière White reveals itself with remarkable finesse. The texture is luminous and vibrant, offering subtle pastry notes alongside pure, lifted and concentrated fruit aromas. A firm mineral backbone anchors the wine, giving it both energy and depth. A beautifully controlled expression of power and precision.

Vines on 0.49 ha, planted in 1952 and 1987, organically grown (not certified).

Color:

Bright golden yellow.

Nose:

Beautiful citrus aromas punctuated by delicate pastry and almond notes.

Palate:

Slender and refined, with bright fruity notes, this wine is pure, light and dense, with a strong mineral character and well-controlled power.

Sole fillet with tarragon butter, Bresse chicken in a light cream sauce, veal sweetbreads with white truffles.

Bruno Colin, awarded two stars in the French wine guide RVF, stands as one of the undisputed benchmarks of Chassagne Montrachet. Since 2004, this remarkable winemaker has charted a flawless course, working organically and defending a pure, elegant vision of Burgundy Chardonnay.

His nine hectares are spread mainly across Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet and Saint Aubin, tended with impeccable care. The result is wines that are sleek, finely etched and masterfully crafted, marked by striking freshness and barrel ageing handled with rare precision.

Both the Whites and the Reds impress with their refined textures and their faithful expression of their terroirs.
