Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet 2025

Puligny-Montrachet epitomises Chardonnay with finesse, vibrancy and mineral precision like almost no other place in Burgundy. Louis Latour's 2025 vintage comes from vines around 30 years old, growing on limestone and hillside scree, and is harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place traditionally in wooden barrels from the estate's own cooperage, after which the wine matures for eight to ten months in French oak, 15 per cent of which is new. The style is consequently focused on a balance of texture and freshness: delicate nutty and floral notes, light fruit and subtle spice combine with a supple structure and a cool, mineral edge. The finish reveals the taut, almost salty character typical of Puligny.
