PULIGNY MONTRACHET LE TREZIN 2022
Bottle Shot
Le Trezin is a Puligny Montrachet village Lieu Dit from the top of the incline, perched above the Premier Crus of Champ Gain & La Garenne and south of1er Cru Sous le Puits. The last vineyard to be picked by Larue due to the cooler terrior. Always a tight style when young but delightful in the same way because of this. Five different plantings by the family over 1.27 hectares, from mainly in the 50’s and 60’s, average vineage of 60 years old. Site is high in calcareous soils, the top soil littered with small white fractured stones. This is where the Oratory (small chapel for private worship) is situated, also the logo for Domaine Larue.
Pressed, settled then moved to barrel by gravity. Fermented in barrel (20% new) then elevage on lees for 12 months then in tank for a further 6 months as the parcels are blended together, total of 18 months before bottling.

The site has deeper clay-limestone soil than the mid slope Cru’s + it’s is a little colder due to it’s slope position.
