Puligny Montrachet wines have a deservedly excellent reputation. The village has two of Burgundy’s six white Grand Crus and partial claim for two more that cross into its terrain. The gently sloping vineyards face east and the soil is chalky clay with plenty of stones to ensure the land is well drained. The combination of these factors contributes to the production of truly outstanding Chardonnay, rich fruit with a mineral steeliness. Puligny Montrachet produces almost entirely white wine. The little Pinot Noir that is harvested yields fruity red wine that is supple in character.
