Special characteristic

The Chardonnay grapes for this wine are picked by hand usually in the early part of harvest season. Gentle whole-bunch pressing in a vertical press, followed by 11 months of maturation in 350-litre barrels, preferably without any bâtonnage (lees stirring). Use of no more than 50% new oak.

Reductive nose of citrus, pear, apple and melon, with exotic hints and a delicate lick of oak. Perfectly judged on the palate, this is a white wine with lots of ripe fruit as well as juicy, vibrant acidity, plenty of mineral grip, and an elegant, long-lasting, saline finish.

Les Enseignères is one the best-known lieux-dits in Puligny-Montrachet, situated directly below the famous Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet grand cru at the southern end of the municipality. Guillaume and Camille own just over 0.1 hectares in this vineyard. They bought the holding in 2022 – one of the first additions to their portfolio. The soil mainly consists of loam and limestone. Guillaume and Camille farm the site organically, albeit without certification for the time being.
