Joseph Drouhin – Puligny Montrachet 2022

Fineness, distinction, great elegance. The color is pure and bright, with a hint of white gold. The aromas evoke blossoming trees and white-fleshed fruits. As the wine ages, they develop into notes of almond and lightly toasted dried fruits. On the palate, a pleasant silky freshness. A long finish with exceptional aromatic richness, both floral and fruity.
