The wine

  • Description

    100% Chardonnay from handpicked grapes; vinified and raised in oak casks.

  • Taste

    The aroma is very delicate combining citrus and other fresh fruit; it is both mineral and richly rounded on the palate with a long aftertaste. The fineness of the fragrance is unveiled when aging with some elegant tertiary aromas combining with the fruit.

  • Serving temperature

    12/14°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.

The vintage

  • March was sunny and budburst happened too early. 5th of April frost made big damages in Puligny. Flowering occurred lately, with wind and rain, many flower aborted, confirming a low yield vintage. Fortunately, summer was hot and dry, enhancing maturation and sugar concentration by the end of summer. Harvest started 13th of September. White wines are generous and fruit driven, but high acidity gives a good concentration and length. Red wines benefited from the hot summer with a complex bouquet and round tanins.
