Overview

Details

Colour: A golden colour with green tinges

Nose: Very floral: honeysuckle, acacia and jasmine, with a touch of grilled almonds.

Palate: A generous, lively attack. There is a superb balance in this wine with good freshness. The finish has a long after-taste with light vanilla nuances.

Puligny-Montrachet is a village in the Côte de Beaune, located in the area that produces the best white wines in Burgundy: the Golden Triangle, bounded by the villages of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.

The second name "Montrachet" was only added at the end of the 19th century, to make the link with the grands crus that can be produced in the village. The appellation covers 211.46 hectares and produces almost exclusively white wines. Around a third of the appellation (98.18 hectares) is classified as Premier Cru, and these Premiers Crus contain 17 different Climats. The village also produces 5 Grands Crus.

The soil is mainly composed of ochre limestone. The subsoil is made up of layers of marl, which play a major role in the structure of the appellation's wines. The vines are located on the plain with a south-east exposure that protects them from the north wind and is ideal for getting maximum sunshine and ensuring good ripeness.

Chardonnay grapes are hand-picked and slowly pressed without destemming. The alcoholic fermentation starts in stainless-steel tanks before the juice is transferred to barrel, a third of the way through fermentation. The barrel ageing is on lees for up to 14 months, with 30% new oak.

"Smells of wax and yellow fruit, turning plump and custardy in the mouth and picking up notes of lemon and pear. Shows decent harmony among the disparate elements and finishes with a delicate touch." - Wine Enthusiast
