Description
Puligny Montrachet, Joseph Pascal, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France, 2022
Grape: 100% Chardonnay, 3ha vineyard on clay-limestone soil, 44 year old vines, aged in oak for 9 to 10 months (25% new)
Loads of sparky energy and density on the palate. Tight structure, persistent with a long mineral finish. Floral and ripe with a slight hint of nuttiness.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"A step up in intensity compared with many village whites in 2022. Creamy/mealy and lightly spicy lemon fruit. Moderate depth and decent length. Dry, persistent, stony finish." Drink 2025-2029
16.5/20 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, January 2024
"This white is pristine, evoking lemon, apple, hazelnut and baking spice aromas and flavors. Balanced and vibrant, this persists on the long finish, building with citrus, mineral, pastry and spice notes. Drink now through 2030"
92/100 points, Bruce Sanderson, WINE SPECTATOR, August 2024
Jean Pascal runs his small family domaine in the village of Puligny by meticulous traditional winemaking. With small parcels of vineyards located across 4 communes in the Cote de Beaune and a reputation for excellent value white burgundies, his Puligny Montrachet does not disappoint. It is wonderfully elegant, not overly oaked and retains a lovely concentration of fruit, displaying butterscotch and hazelnut notes, and finishing with complex flavours of brioche and cinnamon. From the 2022 vintage, the domaine has now been renamed as "Joseph Pascal" after Jean's father.
