No matter which of its five magnificent Grand Crus you prefer, whether it’s the spine-tingling nerve of Chevalier or the orchestral power of Le Montrachet, Puligny is perhaps the pinnacle of Chardonnay’s terroir. The Grand Crus sites sit clustered against the Chassagne border, backed by a slew of Premier Cru addresses that garner, in many cases, the same accolades as is usually reserved for Grand Cru level wines. The gradient of slope and variation in soil type an structure is readily seen as the clear driving force behind the move from Villages classified vineyard, up slope to Premier and Grand Cru territory. The wines are powerful, expressive and highly sought after – chardonnay’s finest elaboration.
