Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumeaux 2022

What kind of wine it is

The Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Chalumeaux by Joseph Pascal is a still white wine with Chardonnay as its absolute protagonist. In the glass, it displays a bright golden yellow colour, introducing an aromatic bouquet where pronounced mineral notes and elegant floral hints stand out. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious and pleasant structure, distinguished by a well-defined complexity and a persistence that prolongs the tasting experience.

Where it comes from

This Premier Cru originates in Burgundy, in the heart of the renowned commune of Puligny-Montrachet, within the specific Les Chalumeaux plot. The grapes come from old vines almost fifty years old, a fundamental element that gives the sip remarkable expressive depth. The roots of the plants delve into clay and limestone soils, a particular geological combination that ensures a pronounced mineral imprint and supports the wine's tasting tension.

How it is produced

The process begins with a gentle pneumatic pressing to optimally extract the must. The wine then matures for ten months on the lees in oak barrels, some of which are new, consolidating the structure without overpowering the fruit's identity. The process concludes with a balanced blend in stainless steel tanks, useful for harmonising the aromatic profile before the final rest.
