Citrus, green apple, wet stone, and a taut mineral backbone — delicate, focused, and electric with the kind of precision that 2024's cooler vintage handed to Puligny on a silver platter. 100% Chardonnay from a parcel sitting just down the slope from Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet. Organic practices since 2004, not certified by choice. Estimated 300-600 cases produced. Leaner and more mineral-driven than the Chassagne — where that wine is broad and generous, this is all tension and restraint. Five generations in Puligny since 1859, now run by Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure. The domaine holds three legendary clos — Clos de la Pucelle, Clos du Caillerets, and Clos des Chevaliers in Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru — so when you're drinking the village wine, you're drinking from a house whose ceiling is about as high as white Burgundy gets.
