The wine
Description
100% Chardonnay, handpicked grapes, vinified and produced,half and half in oak casks and stainless steel vats.
Taste
Pale gold robe with green highlights. A luscious wine with aromas of orchard fruits and citrus. Vat aging gives it a balanced and lively mouth, with a shorter persistency than that of 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.
