Puligny-Montrachet geographical middleman of the Côte de Beaune's 3 great white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south with which it harbours 5 of the 6 white Grands Crus in Burgundy. Puligny- Montrachet Les Truffières is situated high up on the slope just below the hamlet of Blagny. As the name suggests this vineyard was once a truffle-bed and now the wines it produces are equally sought after. | |

Tasting note |
Deep yellow in colour, with a delicate and discreet bouquet of mango, tea and pepper. A generous and mellow wine which is already very expressive.

Awards and Accolades |
92 Points, Burghound (USA), June 2011"A discreet touch of wood frames pure and airy aromas of well-layered ripe white orchard fruit and acacia blossom aromas that are in keeping with the equally complex middle weight flavors that are textured, racy and detailed before culminating in an intensely mineral-driven, dry and refined finish of admirable length. A classy and exceptionally stylish wine of finesse and balance." Drink 2016+ 16 Points, www.jancisrobinson.com, January 2011'Exotically perfumed – really quite a come on. Not that concentrated but all in balance for easy, relatively early flattering drinking. The perfume is all.' Jancis Robinson MW 91 PointsBuying Guide, Wine Enthusiast (USA), September 2011 |
