PRESENTATION
A section within the central part of the Côte de Beaune is devoted to the
production of great white wines, of which Puligny-Montrachet is
unquestionably one of the most glorious representatives. Renowned
throughout the world for its white wines, this vineyard borders on
Meursault to the north and Chassagne-Montrachet to the south.
WINEMAKING/AGEING
Handpicking, sorting of the grapes, gentle pressing so as to respect the
fruit.
Alcoholic fermentation and aging on fine lees in oak barrels (20 to 30%
new barrels) for 14 to 16 months.
TASTING

nuts (almond, apricot), which open up to scents of candied fruit. Round
and structured on the palate, this wine boasts remarkable harmony. The
finish is long and refreshing.
