Louis Latour Puligny-Montrachet Sous Le Puits 2015 (75cl, 13%)

Louis Latour Puligny-Montrachet Sous Le Puits 2015 is a Premier Cru white Burgundy made from 100% Chardonnay. The Sous Le Puits vineyard sits at Puligny-Montrachet's highest elevation on the hill of Blagny, with south-easterly exposure and deep clay-limestone soils. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in oak barrels with complete malolactic fermentation, then ages for 8 to 10 months in oak, 50% of which is new. The nose opens with ripe mango and dried pineapple, then almond, vanilla, lavender, bergamot, orange zest and wild herbs. The palate is ample and round, with brioche richness, tropical fruit concentration, flint and stone flavours, creamy toasty oak and bright acidity. The finish is very long and structured, driven by stony minerality and bitter lemon, closing dry and clean with lingering citrus peel and flinty persistence.
