Depth and restraint define the 2023 Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche, which currently shows cool white and citrus fruit, hints of pear and orange zest, delicate florals and a discreet frame of spice and toast. The palate is powerful yet finely etched, with a firm, energizing line of acidity and dense, sappy fruit that drives a long, bone-dry, smoky finish. This is a regal, tightly coiled Montrachet that promises significantly greater complexity with proper cellaring.

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.
