Ropiteau Frères has been a standard-bearer in Meursault and Côte de Beaune since 1848, when Jean Ropiteau capitalised on the new railway to promote Burgundy wines across France. Over generations, the house has collected prime parcels, including key holdings within Puligny‑Montrachet, becoming recognised for its expressive, terroir-driven whites.
The 2023 Puligny‑Montrachet presents a bright, citrus-forward bouquet of lemon and sesame blossom, layered with delicate vanilla toast from just 20% new French oak. On the palate, it is fresh and elegantly proportioned, with invigorating acidity and a minerally spine. Flavours of white peach and apricot glide across a creamy texture, finishing with a discreet woodiness and lingering charm.
