"The 2011 Pucelles (as well as all the grand crus) was still in tank and in the process of being fined prior to bottling getting underway for this cuvée right after Easter. The wine is utterly classic, exuding great elegance in its bouquet of white peach, tangerine, lemon blossoms, a touch of crème patissière, chalky soil and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and sports lovely mid-palate depth, with bright acids, laser-like focus and exceptional length and grip on the dancing and youthful finish. This will be beautiful."

A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
