Puligny-Montrachet

1er Cru Les Pucelles - Récolte du Domaine

In the past, the Lord of Puligny-Montrachet had given this vineyard to his daughters.

Vineyard

A single vineyard belonged to our Domaine since the 1950's. Which other plot can better explain the terroir of Puligny-Montrachet? The soil is light and rocky, and little water-springs protect it during the summer. It's a very sophisticated wine and a former Domaine Leflaive property.
