The Abbey at Cluny moved into Puligny as long ago as 1095, and set about developing winegrowing there. The estate belonged to the Mypont family, then to the Dukes of Burgundy at the time of Philip the Bold, and then to Burgundian lawmakers.
Technical sheet
The appellation
The villages of Puligny and Chassagne share the fabulous Montrachet appellation which straddles the two. And it’s hard to imagine a more beautiful bottle to act as a figurehead. No other wine offers such dazzle and harmony, with body, bouquet, and a color like liquid gold. The wines of these two villages are heaven sent, and are produced from vines grown close by the grand crus, sharing their virtues and blessings.

They are treated with biodynamic preparations 500 and 501 at the end of winter and in the spring, and again with 501 before flowering. They are thinned out in the spring.
