The 2023 Pierre de Crillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles is a real insider bottle and one of the best buys of the 2023 vintage for this vineyard, coming in at a fraction of the price compared to almost every other producer. Pierre de Crillon remains a discreet, under-the-radar Burgundy label, which is exactly what makes a wine like this so appealing when it lands in a vineyard as important as Les Pucelles, a site widely regarded as one of Puligny’s very best premier crus and one that can approach grand cru stature in the right hands. Pierre de Crillon has proven they are making some of the best value buys in Burgundy,, with many excellent bottlings from Gevrey-Chambertin to Corton Charlemagne, all of of which have been very well made and fantastic wines. This is another lovely wine for the money from one of the village’s best sites and is the best buy for 2023 Pucelles without question.
