The appellation

Our Puligny-Montrachet mostly comes from a 1.1 ha plot located in the AOC Puligny 1er cru Les Chalumeaux which was downgraded to village when it was replanted in 1975 by the INAO because the former owner had brought around 20cm of exogenous soil, which is prescribed by the AOC specifications. It is the only village vine located in the middle of the hillside, in the middle of the 1er Crus. Over the years, both erosion and our organic practices resulted in the roots plunging deeper towards the original terroir. This explains how come our Puligny-Montrachet shows unusual density and complexity for a village wine. The other two plots
are Les Levrons and Boudrires Nosroyes for 0.38 ha.

The wine and the style
After a light settling, the musts are put into 228 and 600-literbarrels to complete the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. We work with 5 to 20% new barrels with wood coming mostly from Allier, light toasting. The wines are racked about a year
later before being transfered to stainless steel vats for the second phase of their aging in order to retain freshness and minerality.

Vine growing
Organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2005. All our wines
are certified by Ecocert.
