Puligny-Montrachet Les Meix Hadrien Brissaud 2023

The wine

The Chardonnay vines stretch alongside the legendary Burgundy village of Puligny-Montrachet. The ideal south-eastern exposure of the Les Meix climate provides the vines with the ideal amount of sunshine for the grapes to ripen properly. Hadrien Brissaud treats his wines as works of art, and vinifies his Chardonnay grapes in the purest Burgundian tradition, limiting human intervention to a minimum. The cuvée undergoes a lengthy and meticulous cask ageing process before being carefully bottled.
The golden-yellow colour reveals a delicate, expressive nose of intense white floral aromas combined with notes of honey and acacia. The rich, perfectly structured palate reveals a superb balance of fleshiness and fine minerality, leading to a complex, flavoursome finish. This 100% Chardonnay cuvée will benefit from a few years in the cellar.
