Description
Home to some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Bâtard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the 216 hectare geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. According to the history books, the village of Puligny gained its name from Puliniacus, a Gallo-Roman military encampment. The Montrachet aspect was added in the last century to stress the consistently excellent quality of the wines produced in the local vineyards.

Tasting Note
Our Puligny-Montrachet 2023 has a bright, pale yellow colour. It reveals a very floral nose with notes of acacia and vanilla. The palate is ample and round, with aromas of vanilla and toasted almonds. Great tension on the finish.
