Puligny-Montrachet "Champ Gain" 1er cru 2024

Description

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Champ Gain’ from the Alvina Pernot estate comes from an iconic climat located high up on the Puligny-Montrachet hillside. This privileged location gives the wine an expression marked by freshness, tension and great aromatic precision. The predominantly limestone soils promote excellent drainage and contribute to the mineral and elegant signature of this premier cru, renowned for its finesse.

In line with the philosophy of the Alvina Pernot estate, every effort is made to preserve the identity of the terroir and limit intervention in the cellar. The grapes are harvested manually and collected in small crates to preserve their integrity. Gentle, gradual vertical pressing produces juices of great purity with low oxidation, faithfully reflecting the character of Chardonnay.

Fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts, without unnecessary additives, before controlled ageing in oak barrels. This accompanies the wine perfectly, without masking its mineral expression. The Puligny-Montrachet ‘Champ Gain’ from the Alvina Pernot estate reveals a fine and complex nose, blending citrus fruits, white flowers and chalky notes. On the palate, the attack is lively, the structure slender and the finish long, salty and persistent.

This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru has good ageing potential, while offering immediate pleasure for lovers of great Burgundy white wines who are looking for precision, freshness and elegance.
