Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
From this famed vineyard within Puligny Montrachet this is white Burgundy at its best. La Truffiere is one of the smallest vineyards in Puligny (2.50 ha), and takes its name from the Truffe de Bourgogne (Burgundian truffle). Previously, in a time when there were less vineyards, the soils were very conducive to this type of mushroom.
Aged for 12 months in oak barrels (between 20 and 25% new oak) and 3 to 6 months in vats the wine shows with a golden hue and exceptional purity. Very precise, the wine shows a stunning mineral backbone and good complexity, with the nose dominated by aromas of white flowers and licorice. The palate is full-bodied, smooth and rich with a delicate acidity that gives it a lively finish. This wine offers excellent ageing potential.
