Vintage Character From the cool heights of the Puligny Montrachet appellation, the 2023 Domaine Larue Puligny Montrachet 'Le Trézin' showcases the brilliant tension of high-altitude Chardonnay. The warm 2023 vintage yielded generous fruit while retaining vibrant freshness due to timely late-summer rains. Located at the top of the Puligny slope near Blagny, the 'Le Trézin' lieu-dit features steep elevations and stony, limestone-rich soils that experience cooler winds, yielding a village wine defined by its crystalline focus, energy, and chiseled mineral structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of crisp green apple, Meyer lemon, and white blossoms. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, showing high acidity with flavours of crushed chalk, fresh brioche, and a touch of toasted almond. This tension leads into a long, salivating mineral finish. Pair this elegant Burgundy with pan-seared scallops in lemon-butter sauce or Cantonese steamed sea bass.
