About this Wine
Les Pucelles is one of the great Premier Cru names of Puligny-Montrachet, sitting immediately beside the Grand Cru, Bâtard-Montrachet. Morey-Coffinet owns just 0.20 hectares here, making this one of the rarest wines of the domaine.
The 2023 begins with beauty: white flowers, ripe citrus, white peach and a little exotic fruit. Then it seems to pull itself tighter in the glass, becoming finer, steelier and increasingly mineral.
There is richness and texture, but everything feels controlled. Fresh acidity gives the wine movement, while a savoury, mineral line carries right through the palate into a remarkably persistent finish.
Refined, intense and wonderfully alive. This is Puligny with real grace, but also the structure and energy to become something very special with time.

Tasting Notes
A tiny parcel of great Puligny: white flowers, citrus and peach wrapped around a steely mineral core and remarkable persistence.
There is something wonderfully sensual about great Pucelles. The 2023 begins with pure brightness: white flowers, lemon and citrus, white peach and just a little mango. It is immediately beautiful, but give it a moment in the glass and the wine begins to change.
The fruit pulls itself back into line. The palate becomes firmer, steelier and more mineral, with fresh acidity running underneath the ripe fruit and giving everything direction.
There is richness here, but also control. The texture is silky and generous, while that steely backbone keeps pushing through, joined by a subtle savoury edge and fine spice on the long finish.
It does not need to be broad or loud. It glides. There is an effortless grace to it, but underneath that beauty is serious structure, tension and energy.
The sort of white Burgundy that seems to move in the glass, revealing a little more every time you go back.
Refined, intense and completely captivating.

The Plot
Les Pucelles is one of Puligny-Montrachet's most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards, lying immediately north of Bâtard-Montrachet on the great white-wine slope.
Morey-Coffinet owns just 0.20 hectares here. The parcel is east facing, at the beginning of the hillside, with Chardonnay planted in 1999 over clay and limestone soils.
It is an unusually precious holding for a domaine otherwise rooted almost entirely in Chassagne-Montrachet, and its tiny size means production is inevitably minute.
The vineyard's position beside Bâtard-Montrachet hints at its pedigree, but Pucelles has a personality all of its own: finesse, floral purity and a steely mineral structure that can give the wines extraordinary energy and length.
Technical Details
100% Chardonnay, hand harvested from Morey-Coffinet's certified organic vineyards, with the domaine also working according to biodynamic principles.
The tiny 0.20-hectare Les Pucelles parcel was planted in 1999 and is trained using single Guyot-Poussard pruning.
Rather wonderfully, the soils here are worked by horse.
Vinification and élevage take place for 14 to 16 months exclusively in 350 litre oak barrels, with around 50% new oak.
The wine is fined with bentonite but left unfiltered before bottling under natural cork and wax.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
