Presentation
The central part of the Côte de Beaune has a zone predestined for the production of great white wines of which Puligny-Montrachet is indisputably one of the most glorious representatives. World-renowned for its white wines, this vineyard area touches the limit of Meursault to the north and Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. The soil here is heavily dominated by limestone to the extent that it has a yellowish colour. The white wines from chardonnay grapes are dry but round and develop a floral and fruity flavour. This Premier Cru lies on the hamlet of Blagny which belongs to the commune of Puligny-Montrachet,. The vineyard plot here is on a gentle hillside orientated eastwards on stony clay-and-limestone soil.

Fine and delicate nose, it develops subtle fruity aromas of pineapple and nectarine enhanced with notes of mild spices, cinnamon and vanilla. Fleshy and full-bodied, this wine is harmonious and well-balanced. The finish is pleasantly long and refreshing.
