The wine region of Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru
17 Premier Cru climats in southern Côte de Beaune, 100% Chardonnay: identity whites of structure, tension and terroir — elegant rather than fruity, precise and long. Hawthorn, hazelnut, almond, green apple, flint, butter then honey with age. Key climats: Pucelles and Clavoillon (mineral), Folatières (expressive), Combettes (generous), Perrières (elegant). Restrained oak vs Meursault, 10-15 years ageing, most precise Burgundian Chardonnay.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
