Domaine Henri Prudhon & Fils - Puligny-Montrachet - Les Enseignères - White - 2023

Wine:

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères White is a brilliant expression of its exceptional terroir, offering a refined and precise aromatic profile where subtle oak aging gives way to distinctive mineral and chalky nuances. On the palate, it’s dense, pure, and beautifully concentrated, with a finely judged touch of oak that enhances its youthful charm without overpowering it. This is a standout bottle with real aging potential—deserving of time in the cellar, and likely to evolve gracefully over 8 years or more. It's worth noting that this prized vineyard lies just next to the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet. Awarded 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
