Puligny-Montrachet is a village on the C�te de Beaune, located where Burgundy produces its finest wines: the Golden Triangle, which is outlined by the villages of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.
The village supposedly holds its name from the Gallo-Roman era, when the first people settled and named it Puliniacus - the marsh house. The second name "Montrachet" was attached only in the end of the 19th century, to have a link with the Grand Cru that can be produced in the village.
The grapes, harvested by hand, are sorted in the vineyards and then at the winery. They are then pressed to ensure a delicate juice extraction. Vinification and aging are done with 40% new barrels to bring more structure to the wine and soft tannins as well as woody notes. This wine was aged on lees for 10 months; keeping the lees and stirring them occasionally to develop the complexity and aromas of the wine.
Notes:
Colour: bright and shiny white gold.
Nose: aromas of lemon, citrus in general, enhanced by delicate toasty and vanilla notes.
Palate: fresh and light in the mouth, with a good minerality and discreet woody notes. The finale is long and charming.
