Puligny-Montrachet
1er Cru Les Pucelles - Récolte du Domaine
A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
Vineyard
A single vineyard that belongs to our Domain 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 summer. It's a very sophisticated wine and a former Domaine Leflaive property.
