SENSORY FEATURES
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet from Domaine Bachey-Legros is an elegant expression of Chardonnay from the prestigious Côte de Beaune, one of Burgundy’s most renowned areas for refined and complex white wines. Sourced from historic vineyards located in prime sites across Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Les Maranges, this wine reflects sustainable viticulture deeply rooted in respect for nature and generations of winemaking expertise. The 2022 vintage stood out for its balanced grape ripening, thanks to ideal climatic conditions that encouraged the development of fresh, mineral aromas without compromising structure. The winemaking process includes controlled fermentations and ageing in a combination of new and used oak barrels, which preserves the fruit’s freshness while adding toasted and spicy nuances to the aromatic profile. In the glass, the wine shines with a bright, clear, and lively straw yellow colour. The nose reveals enticing aromas of white fruits such as apple and peach, complemented by delicate hints of almond, honey, and a typical mineral undertone from Puligny-Montrachet’s limestone terroir. On the palate, it offers a precise and clean sip, with vibrant acidity balancing softness to deliver length and persistence on the finish. This Puligny-Montrachet is ideally paired with noble fish dishes, shellfish, light white meats, and fresh cheeses, where its elegance and freshness enhance the flavours of the meal. Domaine Bachey-Legros’ Puligny-Montrachet 2022 combines power and finesse, faithfully expressing the prestigious Burgundian terroir through a refined aromatic profile and balanced structure. It is well suited for immediate enjoyment as well as for cellaring to develop further complexity.
