This 2021 Puligny-Montrachet, from a 0.78 ha monopole, reflects its chalky soils and characteristic minerality. The Chardonnay offers citrus and white-flower aromas, a taut palate, and a saline finish. Perfect with shellfish or poultry, it can be cellared for 5–8 years.
Nestled in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, this family estate has embodied Burgundian elegance for generations. Its tradition puts respect for the terroir first, shaping wines of rare precision.
- Terroir : A 0.78-hectare monopole on clay-limestone soils typical of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, where chalk and marl give the wines their distinctive minerality.
- Winemaking : A natural approach—plowing, organic fertilizers, and hand harvesting—to reveal the purity of Chardonnay, balancing tension and silkiness.
Appearance: a pale golden color, crystal-clear, with silvery highlights that shimmer delicately.
On the nose: notes of hawthorn blossom and lime emerge first, followed by a touch of toasted hazelnut and a hint of fresh ginger, all underpinned by chalky minerality.
On the palate: a silky entry supported by lively, precise acidity, while aromas of Williams pear and flint carry through to a persistent, saline finish.
Serve between 12 and 14°C in a Burgundy glass to bring out its complexity.
A vintage marked by vibrant freshness, where the balance between ripeness and lively acidity gives rise to wines of great precision.
- Aging potential : Cellar until 2030 under optimal conditions (a stable temperature between 12 and 14°C and controlled humidity).
