Verget Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Sous le Puits 2019

Located near the village of Blagny, this Premier Cru vineyard holds the distinction of being the highest within the Puligny appellation. Sitting at an elevation of 360-380 meters, it could arguably claim the title of the highest Premier Cru vineyard in the Côte de Beaune, although a few sites in Saint-Aubin might contest this claim. While in the past, this location was considered one of the coolest on the Côte d’Or, the wines produced from here today exhibit a fuller and more intense character. Nevertheless, they consistently reflect the producer's commitment to purity and a revitalizing structure. The winemaking process follows the classic Guffens style, where only the first press juices are used, undergoing fermentation in barrels with 20 to 30% new oak, depending on the nuances of the vintage.

A very different style of nose, width, not the floral perfume of the others – but a freshness to this modest volume nose. Lovely in the mouth though - wide, incisive, gorgeous texture – really an extra finishing complexity of fresh flavour too – a different style for sure – but a super Puligny. - Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
