Puligny-Montrachet „Les Reuchaux“ AOC 2023

Wine Description for Puligny-Montrachet „Les Reuchaux“ AOC 2023 by Henri & Gilles Buisson

Character

A classic Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte de Beaune, reflecting the quiet grandeur of its origin. With an alcohol content of 13.0% vol. and a practically dry profile, this wine promises that precise, mineral-tinged elegance for which Puligny-Montrachet is revered worldwide – not a loud, opulent statement, but a wine that convinces through depth, tension and authenticity of origin.

Terroir & Origin

Puligny-Montrachet is considered one of the holiest addresses of white Burgundy. The vineyard site „Les Reuchaux“ belongs to the village wines of the commune and thus sits below the grands and premiers crus – yet even here, the typical limestone-rich subsoil of the Côte de Beaune shapes a wine of unmistakable character. The vintage 2023 was marked in Burgundy by exceptional warmth and early harvest, producing ripe, expressive wines whilst retaining freshness – provided the winemaker understood how to maintain the balance.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay – the undisputed queen of white Burgundy. In the hands of Henri & Gilles Buisson, a family-run estate with a deeply rooted signature in the Côte de Beaune, one can expect a vinification that lets the terroir speak: judicious use of oak, careful hand-harvesting and a winemaking style that prioritises transparency and precision. The wine carries the AOC Puligny-Montrachet – a promise of origin and craftsmanship.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal companion to grilled turbot or sole fillet in beurre blanc. Equally harmonious with scallops with saffron sauce, lobster or fine veal sweetbread preparations. For those preferring something more rustic: a mature Comté or a creamy Époisses from the neighbouring region create a classic, Burgundian table pairing.
