Tasting notes
Our Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Sous le Puits" 2016 reveals a bright and pale golden colour. Complex nose, with hints of vanilla and toasted hazelnuts. The palate is fresh with aromas of exotic fruit and vanilla. Nice persistence and a iodic finish.
Description
Home of some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet,
Puligny-Montrachet is the geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by
Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. The vineyard of Puligny Montrachet
<< Sous les Puits >> has a south-easterly exposure and is situated at the top of the
hill of Blagny, just above " La Garenne ", near a source, hence the name of "Sous le Puits"
("Under the Well").
