<!-- image --> <!-- image --> ## Puligny-Montrachet Noyers Brets 2021 ## B A C K G R O U N D The Pillots have cultivated vines in the Côte de Beaune village of ChassagneMontrachet since 1625. A new and exciting chapter began when, in the 1990s, fatherson team Fernand and Laurent Pillot extended their family's vineyard holdings to also include a few incredible plots in neighboring Pommard and Volnay.Today, the Pillots cultivate 15 hilly hectares, covering 50 parcels (including 12 Premiers Crus). Since Fernand's retirement, Laurent and his son Adrien are continuing the family's legacy with a tireless focus on maintaining the utmost quality. Everything is harvested and sorted by hand and yields are kept painfully low. Every plot is worked under strict 'agrobiologie' principles, and the estate has been proudly HVE-3 certied since 2021 - no easy feat. The family have also been members of the environmental research group DEPHY-EcoPhyto since 2012. ## T E R R O I R &amp; V I N T A G E N O T E S The vines grow on dense clay and limestone soils which are located at 750 feet above sea level. The Noyers Bret vineyard lies below the Puligny Grand Cru Bienvenue Bartard Montrachet, representing the true typicity of Puligny terroir. ## WINE M A KI N G &amp; A G I N G Grapes are hand-harvested and carried to the winery where they undergo alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels (25% new) for a period of two months. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 11-12 months. ## TA S T I N G N O T E S Aromas of white ower and citrus lead way to an elegant wine with avors of green apple and honey. This is a delicate wine with a long, lingering nish. <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> ## ORIGIN Puligny Montrachet AOC, Burgundy, France GRA P E VA R I E T I E S 100% Chardonnay S I Z E S 750ml T E C H N I C A L D E T A I L S ABV: 14%, Closure: Cork WINE M A KE R Laurent Pillot <!-- image -->
