2022 Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny, Maison Roche de Bellene (6 x Bottle)

Hameau de Blagny is close to the Meursault border and adjacent to Puligny Premier Crus La Garenne and La Truffière. The wine exhibits an impressive depth of fruit and textural richness, with plenty of ripeness but without sacrificing freshness. On the palate, there are hints of tropical fruit and peach. There is less minerality than other Puligny Premier Crus, but it is compensated for by spiciness and nutty, honeyed richness. Despite the evident structure, the wine remains approachable and open, even at this early stage.
