Quiet at first, this 2022 Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche builds in graceful layers of pear, white peach and citrus cream, edged by floral lift and fine spice from its refined élevage. The palate is powerful yet composed, with waves of concentrated fruit carried by vivid acidity and a finish that lingers with chalky, mouthwatering precision. A grand cru of impressive depth that clearly promises even greater complexity with time in bottle.

Le Montrachet “Marquis de Laguiche” from Joseph Drouhin is a Puligny-side Grand Cru Chardonnay drawn from the largest single parcel within Montrachet, notable for its brown‑red soil with polished limestone pebbles and a gentle south‑east aspect. Drouhin’s rendition—hand‑harvested, gently pressed and aged (~18–21 months) with roughly 30% new French oak—delivers a finely layered profile of white flowers, stone fruit, honeyed and nutty notes over flinty mineral tension, with broad, silky texture and long aging potential.
