2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Aubues, Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils

2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Aubues, Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils

Les Aubues is an enclave within Puligny’s excellent Enseignères, just below Le Bâtard-Montrachet. Les Enseignères has long been on the radar of collectors as one of the sweetest spots for any village wine on the whole Côte. This 2022 shows unbelievable persistence for a village wine, and surely any blind taster would jump to a premier cru conclusion, thanks to the layered complexity, length and texture of the wine.

Tasting notes

Fresh pale lemon and lime. The bouquet comes across a little sterner after the Chassagne 1er crus. Not especially floral, but this does have the electric steely backbone, and kicks on extremely well in terms of fruit intensity on the palate. Little waves of flavour return at the end. A very stylish Puligny with extra intensity, being an enclave of Enseignères. Lovely grip at the finish. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: October 2023.
