The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère 1er Cru is one of the most shut down of the whites in this vast range. Mineral and savory notes abound, but fruit is decidedly pushed into the background. Citrus confit, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper all race across the palate. There's quite a bit of youthful austerity at this stage, but this should come together in time. A whole range of complex floral and tropical nuances linger. - Antonio Galloni

In 2022 a better allocation than in the frosted 2021 vintage, Charles Lea of Lea & Sandeman tells me, as was the case with many domaines and many importers. Cask sample.Extremely well-judged hint of struck match to accompany the spice of the oak and the tart tang of the citrus. Intense, mouth-watering. Drive, length and precision. But it is very expensive. (JH)
