Vintage Character Thomas Collardot Puligny Montrachet 'Les Houlieres' 2022 is a white wine from Puligny Montrachet, Burgundy, made from Chardonnay. 2022's generous ripeness is channelled by Puligny's limestone-driven acidity. Its identity rests on the Les Houlières lieu-dit and classic Puligny tension. native-yeast fermentation followed by ten to twelve months in oak shapes the wine's texture and aromatic detail while keeping the origin clearly in view. The result is a characterful expression that combines regional typicity with a measured, food-friendly sense of balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it shows lemon, pear, white peach and white flowers. Winemaking and maturation add hazelnut, brioche and discreet vanilla, while time brings chalk, flint and beeswax. The palate is medium-full-bodied with high acidity and little perceptible tannin, carrying the flavours into a focused, persistent finish. Its appeal comes from definition, proportion and the clarity of its site rather than overt showmanship. Serve it with lobster, roast chicken or turbot; those dishes echo the wine's savoury detail while allowing its freshness to reset the palate.
Winery Background Thomas Collardot is the producer, with Thomas Collardot responsible for its winemaking direction. The estate's work is grounded in the vineyards and in a cellar approach appropriate to Puligny Montrachet, favouring sound fruit, controlled extraction or pressing, and élevage that supports rather than masks the raw material. For buyers, the key value is the combination of defined origin, a recognisable producer signature and a style that works at the table. The stated dry profile, high acidity and medium-full body also make the bottle easy to place in a collection or on a restaurant list. Proper storage and a suitable serving temperature will help preserve its detail, balance and length.
