Puligny-Montrachet shares with its neighbor Chassagne-Montrachet some of the finest white wine vineyards in the world. This commune’s Premier Cru vineyards stretch across the upper half of the Puligny slope, from Meursault to Chassagne.
Tasting Note
This wine pairs intensity with finesse, full-bodied richness with elegance. With aromas and flavors of white fruit, almonds and minerals, it will develop favorably in the bottle for 12 to 18 years.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with poached fish, shellfish in cream sauce, pâté de foie gras and ripe cheeses such as Munster and mature Comté.
Points of Distinction
Puligny’s typicité is very expressive, fine and floral aromas, racy, delicate, vibrant fruit and strident minerality.
Puligny wines have more elegance and finesse than those of Meursault and Chassagne.
