Domaine Jomain Puligny-Montrachet 2022
(Burgundy, France)

About the winemaker:

The Jomain boys tend all of their vineyards meticulously by hand with careful eco-sound practices, including bio-alternative vine and soil treatments in lieu of chemicals whenever possible. Harvest is of course, also manual. From vineyard to the cellar, gentle handling of their Chardonnay fruit is of paramount importance. In the cellar, Christophe takes every measure to ensure that the individual character of each terroir is fully expressed by avoiding manipulative technological tricks and excessive use of new oak. Christophe and Philippe do like the texture-enhancing effects of extended lees contact with batonnage (stirring), but never use more than 25% new barrels during the elevage of their wines.

Notes from the winemaker:

Our Puligny-Montrachet village is a dry, still white wine. It is of a bright gold colour with greenish highlights, becoming more intense with time. This racy wine expresses a hint of honey and its aromas develop with maturity. In the mouth, it is fine and elegant, slightly mineral with a good aromatic persistence. Body and bouquet blend into a subtle harmony. It combines grace with a well-defined character and a remarkable concentration.
