Additional Info:

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gains 2022 comes from two parcels planted between 1958 and 1962, situated just below the 1er Cru Les Folatières. More sheltered by surrounding hedges, this site benefits from a protected microclimate. The limestone soils, only 20 cm deep, lend the wine a distinctive salinity and mineral character.

Wine Characteristics

• Appellation: Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru

Vinification and Aging
The grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed and transferred into 228-liter French oak barrels, where fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts. The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months in the same barrels, with 25% new oak. The final blend was assembled and aged for an additional six months in stainless steel tanks before bottling in February.
