WINEMAKER'S NOTE
This ample and powerful wine is produced in the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The vineyard rests on a side of the Rachet hill but with virtually no incline and the ratio of clay to chalk (subsoil) is greater than that in adjoining parcels. These are rich and full wines with an ageing potential of ten years or more.
