Description

Puligny-Montrachet, hailed as the hallowed ground for some of the world's most exceptional Chardonnays, including the renowned Montrachet, stands as the eminent midpoint among the revered white wine villages of Burgundy. Nestled between the illustrious Meursault to the north and the esteemed Chassagne-Montrachet to the south, Puligny-Montrachet boasts a lineage of winemaking distinction that transcends borders.

One of the prized jewels within Puligny-Montrachet's viticultural treasure trove is the vineyard known as "Sous les Puits." With a sun-kissed south-easterly exposure, it graces the pinnacle of the Blagny hill, presiding just above the enchanting "La Garenne" and in proximity to a natural spring. It's this very spring that lends its name to this illustrious terroir, "Sous le Puits," which translates to "Under the Well." Here, amidst the gently rolling slopes and the embrace of the sun's benevolence, the grapes unfurl their potential, giving rise to wines that epitomize the essence of Puligny-Montrachet's white wine legacy.
