1er Cru Les Pucelles - Récolte du Domaine

Vineyard

A single vine belonged to our Domaine in 1955. Which other plot can better explain the terroir of Puligny-Montrachet? The soil is light and rocky, and little water-springs protect it during summer. It's a very sophisticated wine and a former Domaine Leflaive property.
