Les Pucelles is one of Puligny-Montrachet’s top Premier Cru vineyards, located towards the southern end of the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or heartland. It lies on the hillside above the village itself and is planted entirely to Chardonnay — much like its Grand Cru neighbours. Les Pucelles Premier Cru wines are more elegant than most, with aromatic complexity and an almost sweet, nutty palate.

“From two very large parcels of vines totaling over 3 ha. Firm reduction and a whiff of oak dominate the nose at present. Much more interesting are the beautifully textured, racy and detailed medium weight flavors that also possess a highly sophisticated mouthfeel while exhibiting stunningly good length on the bitter zest-inflected finish that goes on and on. This is terrific and easily delivers grand cru quality.”
