Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet Sous Le Puits Premier Cru 2022
Louis Latour Puligny Montrachet Sous Le Puits Premier Cru 2022
Produced by the historic house of Louis Latour, this Premier Cru white Burgundy comes from the prestigious village of Puligny-Montrachet—renowned worldwide for crafting some of the finest expressions of Chardonnay.
The “Sous le Puits” vineyard, perched on the upper slopes of Blagny with a favorable south-eastern exposure, benefits from excellent drainage and sunlight, contributing to the wine’s finesse and aromatic precision. The name, meaning “under the well,” references a nearby natural spring that nourishes the vines.
Vinified using traditional Burgundian methods, the wine undergoes complete malolactic fermentation and is aged for 8–10 months in French oak barrels (50% new, medium toast) from the Louis Latour cooperage. The result is a beautifully balanced Premier Cru that marries richness with elegance, showcasing the hallmark purity and refinement of Puligny-Montrachet.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A Premier Cru white Burgundy shows real thought behind a gift, and this bottling from the historic house of Louis Latour carries that with quiet confidence. It comes from the Sous le Puits vineyard, set on the upper slopes of Blagny with a south-eastern exposure. The name means 'under the well,' after a nearby natural spring that nourishes the vines. Expect ripe white peach and soft vanilla on the nose, then marzipan and acacia honey over a fine mineral backbone. The texture is silky, balancing freshness and richness before a long, elegant finish. Aged 8 to 10 months in French oak from the house's own cooperage, it suits the Burgundy lover, a mentor marking a milestone, or a host who plans menus around the wine. Give it for an anniversary, a promotion dinner or a celebratory meal. Suggest they pour it lightly chilled in a Burgundy white glass alongside roast chicken or a wedge of Comté. As a 2022 vintage with youthful vibrancy, it is made for a table worth gathering around.
