This displays a gorgeous mineral character throughout, with crushed stones and flint, which join the fresh lemon and floral nuances. On the palate this possesses outstanding precision and balance, as it goes on to display wonderful minerality and gorgeous acidity that elegantly frames the finish. This is a beautiful Puligny-Montrachet that should last more that a decade, but today it is still a bit reserved and will need some time before it hits it stride

? Vineyard : the vines are located in the Puligny-Montrachet Village area, in the south of the C?;te de Beaune. Puligny Montrachet is the place where you can find the most famous Grands Crus vineyards (Bienvenues-B?tard Montrachet, B?tard Montrachet, Montrachet and Chevalier Montrachet). The parcels are located in the North part of the village, on poor soils. ? Soils : clay and limestone. The subsoil is composed of different limestone layers (pebbles, marly soils). The slope is very low. ? Varietal: 100% chardonnay - Guyot pruning with different yearly works in the vineyard (pruning, trellising on wires/tying-in, thinning fruit-bunches). The vines are 65 years old. ? Winemaking : the grapes are harvested by hand and sorted out when picking. The grapes are wholly pressed in a pneumatic press at a low pressure to get a slow extraction. After a cold settling and gentle racking of the must, the wine is put in French oak casks (15% of new oak). The primary and malolactic fermentations can then begin with wild yeasts. The ageing is long on fine lees during 16 months. A month before the bottling, the wine from the different barrels is put in a stainless steel tank to make the blend. The wine is finally fined and gently filtered before bottling it following the lunar calendar (?fruit? day to produce a wine with freshness and minerality). ? Tasting notes : very fine wine with mineral notes and a well-integrated acidity. The most mineral wine among the white villages wines from the C?;te de Beaune compared to ChassagneMontrachet and Meursault. Very long finish. ? To serve with : fish, shellfish or creamy white meat. ? Temperature of service : 12?-14? C ? The perfect expression of Chardonnay in Burgundy. When you are looking for a complex and fine wine, it is the wine to choose. Its complexity and purity are crystalline.
