Description

Pale gold color with green highlights. Gourmet wine with orchard fruit and citrus aromas. Matured in vats, it is well-balanced and invigorating on the palate, with less persistence than neighboring Puligny wines.
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.
