Puligny-Montrachet
Home to some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the 216 hectare geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. According to the history books, the village of Puligny gained its name from Puliniacus, a Gallo-Roman military encampment. The Montrachet aspect was added in the last century to stress the consistently excellent quality of the wines produced in the local vineyards.

Tasting Note
This Puligny-Montrachet 2016 reveals a nice yellow colour with green glints. On the nose he reveals floral notes and almond paste. On the palate, it is opulent, aromas of vanilla with a mentholated and iodized touch. Beautiful freshness on the finish!
