- A full and elegant Puligny-Montrachet showing nutty and toasty tones with butter nuances culminating in a long and fresh mineral finish. The 2021 season was very challenging. Starting with a warm spring, a bud burst occurred at the end of March. However, catastrophic frosts occurred on 3rd April with temperatures plummeting to -7°C and destroying 90% of the shoots. Flowering occurred at the end of June, followed by a hot summer and enough rain to reach good maturity. Harvesting started on 23rd September, and due to the frost, the crop was tiny, but the quality was excellent.
Vinified following a philosophy of minimal intervention. The grapes were immediately pressed to preserve the quality. The must was settled for 24 hours before being transferred by gravity to 228-litre French oak barriques, where wild yeast fermentation took place at temperatures maintained below 23°C to retain freshness and aromatics. The wine was matured on its lees for 12 months in barriques from a blend of forests in Central France, with 60% new oak, 30% first use, and 10% second use, without batonnage.

| Winery | This Puligny-Montrachet is from a blend of two different climates within the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. The hillside slopes have a gradient of around 3% and face east, which benefit from the gentle morning sun, giving the grapes time to develop complexity. At the same time, cooler overnight influences bring balancing acidity. The old vines are gown in complex, stony, deep clay and limestone soils and are densely planted. Cultivated according to the traditional methods, they are maintained with a large and aerated canopy for sun protection in the warmer vintages of late. They are sustainably farmed with practices such as using fresh compost from local farms to nourish the vines. General treatments include copper and sulphur, and mechanical ploughing occurs to maintain the vineyard soils. Hand-harvested at optimum maturity. |
