Comtes de Lafon Puligny Montrachet 2022 AOC 0.75l is a celebration of the Puligny-Montrachet terroir, where the Chardonnay finds the limestone hills and sunny exposure an ideal setting to express concreteness, purity, and verticality. In this bottle, the 2022 vintage immediately reveals a spark of freshness that supports a harmonious structure, ready to offer evolution and complexity over time without ever losing the sense of clarity that distinguishes the work of this house, recognized for its ability to translate a family tradition into a contemporary interpretation of white Burgundy. Behind this wine lies a family history and meticulous vineyard management, which flows into a production philosophy focused on soil care, low yields, and a winemaking process that prioritizes the purity of the fruit. This trajectory has made Comtes de Lafon a consolidated presence in the panorama of great Puligny Montrachet wines, with a consistency that translates into wines that speak volumes both upon release and over long aging. The company's identity is nourished by a tradition rooted in the territory, but is supported by a constant curiosity: recognizing each vineyard's distinct personality and translating it into mineral notes, luminosity, and a clear density that seeks precision rather than ostentation. Distinctive elements emerge from the initial aroma: notes of lemon and grapefruit zest, fragments of hawthorn, a saline profile reminiscent of limestone, and a delicate sweetness reminiscent of fresh almonds. On the palate, the wine is anchored by controlled tension, a lively acidity, and an elegant silkiness that accompanies a full-bodied, yet sharp and slender sip, capable of reflecting the character of the terroir without ever forcing it. Within the Comtes de Lafon range, this Puligny Montrachet 2022 is positioned as the leading exponent of the house's multifaceted tradition: capable of accompanying formal moments and long tastings, but also of becoming a reliable foundation for memorable food pairings, where the minerality and clean fruit complement a restrained power and a longevity that promises evolution over time. The choice to focus on this vintage aligns with STELT's positioning, offering readers and enthusiasts a bottle capable of representing authenticity, rigour, and the valorization of the terroir in every sip, offering confidence and character to those seeking an uncompromising Piedmontese signature from the Côte de Beaune.
