2014 Chateau du Puligny-Montrachet White Burgundy

Fresh acacia, hawthorn, citrus and white fruit aromas. Ripe peach and citrus; toasty complexity; rich and minerally fresh. 
Over the centuries, the picturesque 17th century château has changed hands many times, and its celebrated vineyards have perpetually been the envy of its neighbors. In 2001, Étienne de Montille of Volnay was hired to put the Château de Puligny-Montrachet back on the map as one of the great producers of the Côte de Beaune . . . which is exactly what Étienne did. He started the slow conversion of their 19 hectares of vineyards to biodynamic farming practices, a much more rigorous method than even organic farming, to bring more life to the soil, more vigor to the vine and more finesse to the wines.  In 2012 Étienne and his sister, Alix de Montille, purchased the estate. Not only will Étienne be able to see all of his projects come to fruition, but both siblings bring incredible savoir-faire when it comes to transmitting the terroir into the finished wines. In the hands of two of the most respected winegrowers in Burgundy, Château de Puligny-Montrachet is at last realizing its full potential.
