Pascal Clément Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumeaux 2017
Puligny Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceBorn into a family of growers and winemakers, Pascal had more than 20 vintages working experience in Bourgogne before he started his own project in 2012. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, where he owns a half hectare organic vineyard, he farms 10 ha across 29 appellations in Bourgogne for his wines. 80% of his production is white wine, a passion honed by his years of winemaking at Coche Dury, amongst others. He farms with no chemicals, does native ferment in older, larger barrels, employs MLF, and never uses bâttonage in his wines, leaving them on full lees after pressing. From a plot on the edge with Meursault, on an old quarry's rocky, skeletal soils, this is a striking example of Puligny Montrachet. Tight and nimble up front, this opens into a flint lined, structural white, with lemon pith and blossoms, almonds, and fine cream on the core, and ample minerality leading to a lengthy, super saline finish. Great tension throughout, this grows in the glass, and will continue to impress with cellaring.Tasted: 21 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $149.95 | 750ml | consignment |
