The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Chalumaux 1er Cru is a cuvée coming from the Pernot family. This has a very enticing bouquet with crushed stone, flint and light oyster shell scents that could only come from Puligny. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. The oak comes through a little more here (two new out of six barrels), so give it time to fully integrate.
