The wine has a lovely bright yellow colour and a fresh, fruity nose with mineral notes. On the palate, there's a lovely freshness underpinned by a subtle minerality, followed by the delicious juiciness of the flesh punctuated by a saline finish. Jacqueline and Matthieu believe that this appellation reaches its peak after 7 years' ageing in the cellar, but this bottle can also be enjoyed easily in its early years.
Only 730 bottles and 20 magnums were produced for the 2021 vintage.

Description
Domaine Thomas Collardot's Puligny-Montrachet "Au Paupillot" comes from a small parcel of vines planted in 1974 on the lower slopes of the village, facing east/west. The soil is rich and pebbly, with an underground stream called "La Lauche", which comes from the Latin "Populus" meaning poplar trees.
