Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Perrières"

Situation

Côte de Beaune

Level

AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Chardonnay

The notoriety of the village and its name are due to the presence of a part of Burgundy's most celebrated white Grand Cru - the famous Montrachet.
The "Les Perrières" Premier Cru is a Climat located halfway between Montrachet to the south and Meursault's "Charmes" Premier Cru to the north. The particularly stony (pierre) soil is what gave the Climat its name.

Tasting

A very typical "Perrières" nose reveals remarkable freshness with mentholated nuances and intense minerality. The palate is extremely fruit forward and offers perfect balance between roundness, volume and tautness. The finish is long and complex.

Food/wine pairing

Taste this wine with finely prepared fine fish and crustaceans, or with poultry and white meats, roasted or served in a cream sauce.
Recipe suggestion: scampi cassolette with tarragon sauce

Serving and keeping

Serve between 12 and 14°C (53-57°F).
To enjoy young on the fruit or to keep 5 to 7 years.
