DESCRIPTION
|
This village lies between Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet and offers exceptional terroirs in which the Chardonnay grape variety thrives. Vines have been cultivated here since the 12th century although it was not until 1879 that Puligny added its name to that of the more reputed Grand Cru: Montrachet.

WINEMAKING
|
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The musts are extracted using a pneumatic press before being settled. Vinification lasts for 4 weeks and takes place in French oak barrels (less than a third of which are new oak) in our cellars at consistent natural temperatures and hygrometry. The wine is aged in barrels for 14 months during which it is stirred regularly in order to keep the lees in contact with the wine. This results in excellent tension and aromatic complexity combined with a smooth and delicate palate. |

TASTING
|
The nose will entice you with its subtle and seductive aromas of white flowers combined with a touch of vanilla and fresh hazelnut. The palate offers a direct, mineral attack which evolves to reveal rich notes of vine peach, exotic fruits and salted caramel. Serve with Pan-fried scallops, crayfish, chicken breast in a creamy muhsroom sauce Serve at 12 to 14°C Cellaring Potential 5 to 10 years |
