Puligny-Montrachet – David Moret

David Moret Puligny-Montrachet 2024 is a fine, mineral white from the Côte de Beaune: a 100% Chardonnay aged in French oak barrels, with white flowers, fresh citrus and a flinty edge.

The David Moret estate

Burgundy négociant David Moret has no family winemaking heritage: he studied viticulture and oenology, then sold winemaking equipment to growers in the Côte de Beaune, before acquiring his first barrels in 1999. Based in Beaune, this micro-négociant selects grapes from small plots farmed by partner growers, mostly around Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. He follows the vines, sets the harvest date, picked by hand, and gently presses whole bunches.

The wine: David Moret Puligny-Montrachet 2024

This Puligny-Montrachet is a 100% Chardonnay from a village appellation, grown on clay-limestone soils. Gentle whole-bunch pressing, gravity flow into 228-litre French oak barrels, fermentation with native yeasts, then malolactic fermentation in the same barrels. It is aged for about 11 months, with nearly 20% new oak, and bottled without fining or filtration.

Tasting notes

The colour is pale yellow with green highlights, clear. The nose combines white flowers and fresh citrus, lifted by a mineral touch. The palate is fresh and balanced, driven by lovely acidity, with lemon and flint.

Food pairing, serving and ageing

Pair it with roast sea bass, pan-seared scallops, asparagus risotto or ripe Époisses cheese. Serve at 11 to 13°C, with a little aeration when young. Already approachable, it will gain complexity over 8 to 12 years.
