RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

Medium-bodied and silky-textured, it displays a lovely, lush attack as well as mid-palate, filled with delightfully spicy minerals and pears, before tapering off in the finish.

90Stephen Tanzer

Ripe stone fruits, iodine, clove and flint on the soil-inflected nose. Rich, plump and stuffed with fruit. Nicely integrated acids give shape to the wine and draw out the finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Lots of weight and richness and spice. Lots of alcohol. Quite hot finish. Not for the faint-hearted.

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, La Truffiere

La Truffiere is a 7.2-acre acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. It is up the slope and west of many of the appellation’s Premier Cru vineyards, and in fact wasn’t farmed as a vineyard until the mid-20th century, when the land was cleared of rocks and scrub. The elevation is 300 to 380 meters.

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.
