RATINGS

91Robert M. Parker Jr.

Roasted tropical fruit aromas are discernable in the distance on the tight nose of the Puligny Montrachet Les Demoiselles. This full-bodied wine displays an elegant minerality and great velvety texture.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, Les Demoiselles

Les Demoiselles is a 1.5-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the appellation of Puligny-Montrachet, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. The vineyard is made up of 56 rows of vines on the north end of Chevalier-Montrachet. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that at its best, Le Cailleret and its diminutive neighbor Les Demoiselles “make exquisite wines: not as powerful as Le Montrachet itself, but of pure breed, excellent grip and beautiful balance.”

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
