The family farms its old-vine village parcels with traditional, sustainable Burgundian methods (lutte raisonnée), keeping yields low and letting each site speak. Les Reuchaux is a well-regarded lieu-dit (named single vineyard) on the gentle lower slopes of the village, where the vines root into clay-limestone soils scattered with small stones and pebbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 was harvested by hand, pressed as whole clusters, and fermented with native yeasts before aging about a year in French oak barrels on its fine lees, with only a modest share of new oak. That restrained approach keeps the focus on Puligny's hallmark tension and minerality, while the lees aging adds texture and depth to the mid-palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single-lieu-dit Puligny-Montrachet from a small family grower, at a fair price for the village.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeyer lemon, white peach, and green apple on the nose, with delicate white blossoms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToasted hazelnut and lees richness fill out a satisfying, textured palate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA chalky, saline mineral spine keeps it focused and fresh through a long finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovely now with a short decant, and capable of rewarding cellaring into the 2030s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe chilled, between 50°F and 54°F.
