The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clos de la Pucelle” Monopole from Domaine Jean Chartron is a beautifully detailed and refined Chardonnay that perfectly captures the elegance and mineral precision of Puligny-Montrachet. Produced from the domaine’s historic monopole vineyard directly beside the estate, this wine combines depth and concentration with remarkable finesse.
The nose opens with aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, Meyer lemon, crushed chalk, hazelnut, and delicate hints of brioche and acacia flower. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and layered, revealing notes of orchard fruit, lemon curd, almond cream, wet stone, and saline minerality. The texture is silky yet energetic, supported by finely tuned acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.
The 2024 vintage emphasizes freshness, tension, and precision, making this an especially elegant expression of Clos de la Pucelle. While approachable in its youth for its purity and balance, the wine possesses the structure and depth to age beautifully over the next two decades.
