James Suckling 94
A cool and restrained Puligny-Montrachet, with delicate white-fruit and floral aromas. Sleek, linear and elegantly dry, the finish long and delicate, with floral and mineral nuances. Drink or hold.

Home of some of the world's most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous 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").

Our Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Sous le Puits" 2016 reveals a bright and pale golden colour. Complex nose, with hints of vanilla and toasted hazelnuts. The palate is fresh with aromas of exotic fruit and vanilla. Nice persistence and a iodic finish.
