PULIGNY-MONTRACHET
LES CHAMPS-GAINS
PREMIER CRU
To achieve this high quality, grass is
sown between the vines and as from the month of July the
leaves overlapping the grapes are removed to let the sun get
at them. The grapes are harvested MANUALLY and the sorting of the grapes is done
in the vines in a very strict way. After a cold decanting
process, the fermentation is traditionally done using
controlled temperatures, half in new oak barrels and half in
one year old barrels.
The bottling is exclusively done at the
DOMAINE.
GRAPE VARIETY : Exclusively 30 year old CHARDONNAY vines.
SURFACE
AREA: 0.45 Hectares
PRODUCTION :
2400 bottles per year.
TERROIR : Very stony clay-limestone soil.
A pale green wine with aromas of
citronella, kiwi fruit and a hint of vanilla. Noble,
full-bodied, structured,
long on the palate with a touch of wood. The dominant taste
of this wine is finesse and mineral.
