History
This premier cru wine from the high slopes takes its name from the mist - or "follots" as it is locally called - which occasionally occurs in this location, one of the best known in Puligny-Montrachet.
Soil
A thin layer of clay and alluviums with a fair amount of limestone fragments.
Our plot(s)
60a08 planted in 1957,1961 and1962 on a slope of 10 to 15%, facing east.
The wine
Description
100% Chardonnay, handpicked, vinified and matured in oak casks.
Taste
Light in colour with a slight golden hue; on the nose it is a complex wine, powerful with white flower and honey aromas together with a mineral sensation; in the mouth it is at first full, then becomes richer followed by a clean saline finish and great length.
Serving temperature
12/14°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- The end of the winter was very cold ; nice weather early april was the best contitions for buds to come out ; end of may, the vines are in bloom. Hot and dry conditions in july and august helped the grapes mature quickly. We started harvest on the 31st of august on Beaune Clos des Mouches white. Fine citrus aromas, well balanced between richness and freshness, without being too pronounced nor overmatured.
