Maison Louis Latour - Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Sous le Puits 2023
95/100
James Suckling
"The birthplace of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays, this Puligny-Montrachet offers an elegant and generous tasting experience: a delight."
"Aromas of flint, grapefruit peel, orchard fruit, chalk, and fresh herbs. The taut palate is precise, with mineral acidity and a round texture. Perhaps the most linear and concentrated wine among the 2023 white premier crus. Delicious. Drink now or hold." (James Suckling 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is mainly linked to the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, with a sumptuous location on the famous Corton hillside as its highlight. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latours, chairs the family board and has complete confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have undergone longer fermentation, giving them more body and substance, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant search for balance that sometimes leads them to be underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015 for both colors, but we would place more trust in the cuvées from the estate's own vines than in certain purchases, especially the whites, which are too diluted.
