A brilliant expression of Puligny-Montrachet’s finesse, the 2021 ‘Sous le Puits’ from Domaine Larue captures the elegance and precision that define this esteemed terroir. Grown in the high-altitude Premier Cru vineyard of Sous le Puits, perched near the border with Blagny, this Chardonnay showcases a cooler microclimate and limestone-rich soils that impart remarkable freshness and minerality.
In the glass, it opens with layered aromas of peach, nectarines, white flowers, citrus zest, and crushed stones, underpinned by subtle hints of almond and lightly toasted oak. The palate is both vibrant and refined, offering a harmonious balance of crystalline acidity, fine texture, and a long, saline finish that speaks to its elevated origin.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
