The middle part of the Côte de Beaune is famous of its great wines. Puligny-Montrachet, as one of the villages of the Côte des Blancs, is one of these celebrated appellations. Exceptional weather conditions in 2018 gave a very healthy crop of high quality. A wine of exquisite finesse with stone fruit and blossom aromas, gaining nutty complexity with time in bottle. Silky on the palate with a fruity, floral finish. In wonderful half bottle format.
Producer Information
Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s most important wine producers. Founded in Beaune in 1880, the domaine has expanded throughout the 20th Century to include vineyards in Chablis, the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, making everything from simple, village-level cuvées to highly priced grand cru and premier cru wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.The domaine was started by the eponymous Drouhin, who established the company’s headquarters in the city of Beaune in the late 19th Century. His son, Maurice, began to acquire vineyards in the early 20th Century, starting with the now-iconic Clos des Mouches vineyard. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s Joseph Drouhin began to expand its land holdings in Chablis and, in 1988, the domaine established a vineyard in Oregon, in the United States.
