Puligny-Montrachet is a village of the Côte de Beaune, located in the area that produces the best white wines in Burgundy: the Golden Triangle, which is formed by the villages of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The vineyard extends over 97 hectares, and is situated within Puligny and part of the hamlet of Blagny. It stretches out on a gentle slope facing east, at an altitude of between 230 and 320 metres. The limestone soil of Puligny is as precious as the liquid gold it produces, a mixture of red dirt and small pebbles that the sun strikes like small white mirrors. Thus, even on gentle slopes, this terroir is definitely precious.
Hand-picking, grape sorting, pneumatic pressing then light settling before slow fermentation in oak barrels with regular stirring, and ageing in oak barrels for about 15 months.
