Home of some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. The vineyard of Puligny-Montrachet "Sous les Puits" has a south-easterly exposure and is situated at the top of the hill of Blagny, just above "La Garenne", near a spring, hence the name of "Sous le Puits" ("Under the Well").

Tasting Note
Our Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Sous le Puits" 2022 is a brilliant pale yellow colour. The nose offers up aromas of white peach and vanilla. On the palate, there are aromas of marzipan and acacia honey. The palate is very round and lingering, with great elegance.
