Tasting notes
Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Truffière is something special, crafted by Bernard Morey in the heart of Burgundy from 100% Chardonnay grapes. This region is like the holy grail for Chardonnay lovers, and the 1er Cru vineyards offer a quality that's hard to beat.
In 'Drops of God', volume 16, there's a scene where mountaineer photographer Okazaki pulls out this wine from his personal cellar. Just from the aroma, he's floored by its grandeur—it feels like you're standing before the mighty European Alps. The minerality is as sharp as a finely honed knife, bringing to mind towering rocky peaks.
Pour yourself a glass and you'll see that bright golden hue. The aroma greets you with fresh green apple and pear, with a hint of vanilla that whispers of its oak aging. When you taste it, the vibrant acidity hits first, perfectly balanced with the fruitiness. There's a strong mineral backbone giving it an outstanding character.
The finish is long and inviting, almost tempting you to take another sip. You should definitely give this wine a try, savor it slowly. Don't serve it too cold—let it warm up a bit to fully appreciate its charm.
