About

Puligny-Montrachet (pronounced Mont-Rachet) shares with Chassagne-Montrachet the most perfect expression of chardonnay. Just a few meters from the Grands Crus, the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée established in 1937 offers a white wine with a strong personality and high reputation. The vines are mainly planted on limestone soil, sometimes deep or on hard rock.

Terroir

This A.O.C. is at the bottom of the hill, on a brown soil from the North of Meursault to the South of Chassagne.

Vinification

The grapes are grown sustainably in calcareous clay soil. 100% manual harvest. 100% Chardonnay. 100% whole grapes. 24h static settling. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in oak barrels. 18 months ( 6 months in stainless steel tank) 100% in oak barrels (20% new oak)

Tasting Notes

This wine is distinguished by its floral lightness and a clear directness that does not fail to instantly captivate. This wine presents a perfect equation between mineral sobriety and delicate generosity, creating a tasting that is both elegant and entertaining. The finale is of great caliber.

Food Pairing

Ideal with a fillet of sole in white butter sauce.

Wine Spectator

This white is about finesse, with a lithe frame and vibrant structure setting the stage for apple, lemon and hazelnut flavors. Evolves to the long aftertaste, picking up mineral and baking spice notes, showing excellent length and balance. Best from 2026 through 2033.

It shows a rather quiet, restrained fruit character as well as great harmony and seamlessness. Fermented in 20% new oak, alive with good acidity and highlighted by light toast, almond and mineral accents that add complexity. Medium- to full-bodied and quite well structured. Drink or hold.
