Puligny-Montrachet (pronounced Mont-Rachet) shares with Chassagne the most perfect expression of Chardonnay. Only a few meters from the Grands Crus, the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée instituted in 1937 offers a white wine with a strong personality and a high reputation. The vines are mainly planted on limestone soil, sometimes deep or even on hard rock. Exposures to the east and south-east between 230 and 320 meters above sea level.

Takes its name from "Pul", radical meaning swamp. The village of Puligny-Montrachet is installed on small pockets of water preventing any construction of buried cellars.

SITUATION

Surface of the production area: 114.22 ha

TERROIR

The appellation lies at the bottom of the hillside, on brown soil stretching from Meursault in the north to Chassagne-Montrachet in the south. The soil is clay-limestone with a strong presence of pebbles. Depending on the place, the style differs a little but always allows to associate elegance and richness. We are lucky to have a representative of all the climats of the appellation, more than 21 in total.
