Tasting notes
This wine has a bright gold color with greenish highlights, becoming more intense with age.
The bouquet brings together hawthorn blossoms, ripe grapes, marzipan, hazelnut, amber, lemon-grass,
and green apple. Milky (butter, hot croissant) and mineral aroams (flint) are commonplace, as is
honey. Body and bouquet blend into a subtle harmony, this wine combines grace with a well defined
character and a remarkable concentration.
Food pairing
Puligny-Montrachet is concentrated and well-bred. Its balance, aromatic complexity, and purified
style demand delicate but rich food. It is equally at home with poultry in sauce of veal fried with
mushrooms. Its great distinction elicits a grateful response from fattened goose liver (foie gras),
lobster, crawfish, and grilled or fried sea-fish. On the cheese-board, its natural allies are goat
cheeses, Reblochon, or soft-centered cheesees like Brie de Meaux.
Soil
The vines in many cases occupy brown limestone soils or soils where limestone alternates with
marls and limey-clays. Soils are deep in some places. In others, the rock is exposed at the
surface. Where they are clayey alluvia, these are coarser higher up and finer at the foot of
the slope.
