Joseph Drouhin Montrachet 'Marquis de Laguiche' Grand Cru 2023
Joseph Drouhin Montrachet 'Marquis de Laguiche' Grand Cru 2023 originates from France, within the southern part of the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy. The estate of the Marquis de Laguiche is entirely situated on the Puligny side of the legendary Montrachet appellation. This 2.06-hectare property is the largest single parcel within the vineyard and has been owned by the Laguiche family since 1363. Since 1947, the Drouhin family has been responsible for the cultivation and vinification of this 'heirloom treasure', maintaining its global prestige.
Wine Description
This Grand Cru presents a glowing mid-lemon colour and a full body. The sensory profile is elegant and deeply layered, featuring a complex nose of white peach, pear, golden apples, and honey, interwoven with floral nuances of lily of the valley and citrus blossoms. These primary notes are complemented by undertones of toasted nuts, light vanilla, and chalky soil tones. On the palate, the wine is unctuous and richly textured, yet impeccably balanced by a fine thread of acidity that provides precision and energy. The finish is long and stony, characterized by mineral drive and a hint of bitter lemon zest.
-
Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay.
-
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its majestic structure and harmonious roundness, avoiding any sensation of heaviness while offering superb focus and subtle complexity.
-
ABV: Typically recorded around 13.5% vol for regional whites in this vintage.
-
Organic Status: Joseph Drouhin has long practised biodynamic and organic viticulture, with the Laguiche estate cultivated using these principles to extract maximum nuances from the terroir.
Food Pairing
The majestic and satiny nature of this Grand Cru makes it an ideal companion for the most refined cuisine.
-
Seafood: It pairs exceptionally well with noble fish such as roast turbot, especially when prepared with white truffles.
-
Rich Fare: The wine’s creamy texture and lively acidity complement oily fish or shellfish served with rich, buttery sauces.
-
White Meats: Suggested pairings include delicate poultry dishes, such as poached or herb-grilled chicken, where the wine's body does not overwhelm the meat.
