2017 6x75cl

A wine for which we could write a whole page to tell its colourful story. Perhaps the most full-bodied of the Grand Crus of Puligny and Chassagne. Sumptuous richness, great concentration and stunning intensity. A long lived wine with too many superlatives for a short tasting note!

Vineyards

Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne Montrachet are at the centre of the four communes that form the part of the Côte de Beaune know as the Côte des Blancs (Meursault, Blagny, Chassagne and Puligny), so named for the quality and predominance of its white wines. Bâtard Montrachet is situated where the communes of Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne Montrachet meet. It borders the Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet vineyard and lies just under the Montrachet vineyard. It benefits from east exposure and chalky soils. It is the largest of the Puligny's five Grand Crus.

Vintage

The 2017 vintage was very dry, but was relatively cool. Luckily, the frost damage was minimal and a combination of moderate day temperatures and cool evenings resulted in relatively good yield and wonderful flavour concentration.

Winemaking

This wine is fermented and aged for an average of 18 months in oak barrels before bottling. This vinification highlights the unique qualities inherent to the fruit of this great vineyard. It can produce a wine with great depth and complexity when kept in the right conditions for up to 20 years.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted White Meats
• Fish/Shellfish
• Mild Creamy Cheeses

Perfect with seafood platter or with comté cheese.
