Puligny-Montrachet
1er Cru Les Pucelles - Récolte du Domaine
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
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.
