The 2023 Bruno Colin Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru La Truffière is an exceptional white Burgundy from one of Puligny-Montrachet’s distinctive high-slope Premier Cru vineyards. Produced from 100% Chardonnay, Bruno Colin farms just 0.49 hectares here, with vines planted in 1952 and 1987 on clay-limestone soils. The 2023 vintage received 93 Points, Sweet Spot and Outstanding from Allen Meadows of Burghound, who particularly highlighted its finesse, mineral character and beautifully balanced finish.
On the palate, it is refined and mineral-driven, combining spiced pear and delicate floral notes with citrus, subtle exotic tea and finely integrated oak. The wine has impressive precision and freshness rather than sheer power, with a fine, almost delicate texture leading into a long, energetic and beautifully balanced finish. The domaine ages the wine for 12 months in 350-litre barrels, with approximately 15–20% new oak, followed by a further 4–6 months in tank before bottling.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for white Burgundy collectors seeking a refined, mineral-driven Puligny-Montrachet with serious pedigree and ageing potential. The 93 Points, Sweet Spot and Outstanding rating from Burghound makes the 2023 La Truffière particularly compelling. Enjoy with some air in its youth or cellar over the next 8–15+ years. Pair with grilled lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken, truffle dishes or aged Comté.
