What stays under the family label is limited by design. Sylvie Prevot-Joly took over from her father Albert in 2007 and started estate bottling that same year, working alongside her brother-in-law Gilles. Their focus is classic, precise Puligny: crisp whites with real energy and the kind of mineral drive that only comes from this corner of the Côte de Beaune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes Reuchaux sits on the near-north side of the village, just downslope from the Premier Cru vineyard Les Perrières, sharing its clay-limestone-marl soil but with a bit more topsoil and clay. The vines here are around 70 years old on a tiny 0.45 hectare parcel, producing roughly 150 cases a year, of which only 25 make it to the US. Sylvie's winemaking is hands off: whole-cluster pressed, then sent straight to barrel in a small, very cold underground cellar. That cold fermentation gives the wine a Meursault-like reduction, all matchstick and savory tension, layered over white peach, pear, and floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rare taste of a nearly négociant-only grower, since most of this fruit never makes it into an Albert Joly bottle at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole-cluster pressed and fermented in a frigid underground cellar, giving it a Meursault-like matchstick reduction over white peach and pear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70-year-old vines on a sliver of a parcel bring real concentration without any heaviness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Puligny tension and mineral energy, with a touch of early generosity depending on the vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVillage-level pricing with a lieu-dit sitting right next to Premier Cru Les Perrières.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe between 50°F and 55°F, cool but not cold, to keep the mineral and floral notes in focus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive it 15 to 30 minutes of air to let the reductive matchstick note blow off before it fully opens up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into Burgundy stems to give the aromatics room to develop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs beautifully with seared scallops in brown butter, or anything built around roasted shellfish and hazelnuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45667065200694,"sku":"SOMM2606CL-ALB22REU-750","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2022AlbertJoly_Puligny-MontrachetLesReuchaux_1.png?v=1785433496","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2022-albert-joly-puligny-montrachet-les-reuchaux-june-club","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
