Hints of apple blossom and crushed oyster shells lend freshness to this creamy, mineral-laden Chardonnay. Finessed and bracing yet sumptuous in texture, its white grapefruit and pear flavors are rimmed by richer, warmer tones of almond and vanilla.

It is nearly in the center of the Premier Crus and is the largest Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet.
