Tasting note
Intense, elegant Grand Cru white Burgundy, heady with hawthorn, spice and faint tobacco fumes and succulent with apricot and dried fruit.
Viticulture
The estate exclusively spans Puligny's side, with gentle slopes and optimal SE exposure. Brown-red earth with white limestone pebbles ("rachet" denotes infertile land). With 10,000 stocks/ha, it yields 48hl/ha, ensuring terroir nuances are fully expressed.This 2.06-hectare Montrachet plot upholds its prestigious legacy and global acclaim.
Vinification
Hand-harvested in small crates to preserve fruit integrity, our grapes undergo meticulous double sorting: first during picking, then on sorting tables at the winery. Gentle pressing ensures only the finest juices are used, with the last pressings discarded. After débourbage, the wine ages in barrels (25% new oak) for 15-18 months.
Food Match
Intensely flavoured food make for an indulgent pairing. Grilled or steamed lobster, poulet de Bresse, especially with truffles, roast veal fillet, sweetbreads, very rare fillet steak. An underrated match for foie gras and washed-rind cheeses.
