Origin
Puligny’s soil is almost exclusively given over to the cultivation of Chardonnay grapes. The word “terroir” rarely carries the importance it does here; a difference of just a few metres is sufficient to create various nuances in the wines.
This parcel may have been an old field, belonging to a Mr Canet or more likely Carret, because the Carrets are an old family of this village.
