Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Sous le Puits 2016
Home of some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. The vineyard of Puligny-Montrachet "Sous les Puits" has a south-easterly exposure and is situated at the top of the hill of Blagny, just above "La Garenne", near a source, hence the name of "Sous le Puits" ("Under the Well").
