Puligny-Montrachet

Les Levrons

Puligny derives from Pulynie (village on water). In the 14th Century, a Levron referred to a haunt for hares!

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

Several plots located down the hill, next to the 1er Crus "les Perrières" and "les Referts". East exposure. Poor clay-limestone soils so shallow that bedrock is visible in places.
