Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet 2024 Puligny Montrachet, France
Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet 2024 comes from one of Burgundy's most famous white wine villages, precisely situated between Meursault and Chassagne Montrachet. Puligny Montrachet is known for Chardonnay with tension, refinement, and a distinct mineral line. This Village wine undergoes 8–10 months of aging in French oak from Louis Latour's own cooperage, allowing ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and subtle wood influence to combine beautifully.
Vineyards and region
Puligny Montrachet is located in the Côte de Beaune, the southern part of the Côte d’Or.
Location / Origin: Puligny Montrachet occupies the central geographical position between Meursault to the north and Chassagne Montrachet to the south, three villages that together are among the great names for white Burgundy.
Appellation: The wine comes from the Puligny Montrachet appellation, a Village appellation with worldwide fame thanks to vineyards like Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, and Bâtard Montrachet.
Name & history: The original village name Puligny comes from Puliniacus, a Gallo-Roman military settlement. Montrachet was later added to the name to emphasize the quality of the local vineyards.
Soil: The vines grow on limestone and scree, a rocky soil with good drainage that contributes to tension, precision, and a mineral impression.
Vineyard & Harvest: The vines are on average 30 years old, yields are around 45 hl/ha, and the grapes are harvested by hand.
Vinification and aging
The aging is classic Burgundian, with oak usage supporting the Chardonnay without masking its freshness.
Fermentation: Fermentation traditionally takes place in oak barrels with full malolactic conversion. What is malolactic conversion? This process converts sharper malic acid into softer lactic acid, making the wine feel rounder and creamier.
Aging / Oak aging: The wine ages for 8–10 months in French oak barrels from Louis Latour's own cooperage, 15% of which are new and medium-toasted. This imparts subtle notes of toast and spice, while preserving the fresh fruit expression and mineral tension.
Grape composition
This white Puligny Montrachet is made entirely from Chardonnay.
Chardonnay – Puligny Montrachet: Chardonnay gives this wine its ripe fruit, fresh acidity, creamy texture, and ability to elegantly absorb oak aging. In Puligny Montrachet, the grape often develops an extra taut, mineral line.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Clear pale yellow in the glass, with ripe tropical fruit notes, peach, quince, and a mineral, slightly spicy touch. The taste is refreshing and balanced, with a beautiful interplay of ripe fruit, lively acidity, and subtle oak influence. The finish remains clean, refined, and elegantly dry.
Serving temperature: Serve this Puligny Montrachet at 11–13 °C, so that the ripe fruit notes, fresh acidity, and mineral tension remain beautifully balanced.
Dishes: Excellent with dorade à la Provençale, veal roulades, poached eggs in white wine sauce, scallops, rich fish dishes, and Chaource cheese.
Awards
4.3 stars, Vivino: A strong consumer score indicating that this Puligny Montrachet is widely appreciated by white Burgundy enthusiasts.
