TASTING NOTE
This elegant and powerful wine is the result of the blending of two Premier Crus located on the Puligny-Montrachet hillsides; les Chalumeaux and la Garenne.
Fresh almonds and white flowers dominate the bouquet. The round and full-bodied mouth evokes dried fruit aromas on the palate, which are enhanced by the elegant minerality of this Premier Cru.
