Type: White

This low-intervention white Burgundy is a pure varietal bottling of chardonnay from high-altitude vines in Puligny-Montrachet. Winemaker Jonathan Purcell sources the fruit from the prestigious Le Trézin lieu-dit, characterized by rocky limestone soils. The winemaking features a gentle press followed by a completely spontaneous fermentation driven by native wild yeasts in neutral French oak barrels. The liquid matures on its fine lees for several months and is bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfur.

It pours a luminous golden-straw color, releasing an intense bouquet of lemon curd, crushed rocks, and white flowers. On the palate, a powerful, bone-dry structure balances a rich, buttery texture with a piercing, salty minerality. Clear flavors of ginger and kiwi develop beautifully as the wild natural edge expands across the mouthfeel. A persistent lemon acidity runs through the center, keeping the concentrated weight fresh and expressive. It concludes with an impressively long and dense finish.

Winery

Vin Noé is Jonathan Purcell’s small Burgundy project, established after he moved from San Diego to study wine in Beaune in 2012. Experience with David Croix and Philippe Pacalet, followed by vineyard work at Domaine de Montille and Domaine Matrot, helped shape his approach. An early collaboration with Chris Santini led to the first Vin Noé bottlings in 2017. Jonathan later took on vineyards around Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet from Jean-Jacques Morel and moved into Morel’s former cellar in the hamlet of Gamay in 2021.

The project combines those carefully farmed parcels with purchased fruit, allowing a range that extends from more approachable cuvées to specific Burgundian sites. Since the initial vintage, Jonathan has made the wines without added sulfites, putting close attention to grapes, fermentation and handling at the center of the work. Pattaya, Amour Vache and Rêve Américain show different sides of that range. Together, they offer a personal view of Burgundy from a grower whose path began abroad but whose day-to-day work is now rooted in the region’s vineyards.
