Puligny-Montrachet - Louis Jadot

Puligny-Montrachet, der ligger syd for Meursault og nord for Chassagne-Montrachet, deler med Chassagne nogle af de største vingårde for hvidvinsproduktion i verden. Vinmarkerne ligger omkring Puligny på østvendte bakker op til 390 meter over havoverfladen. Her vokser Chardonnay-druen som den eneste i de ler- og kalkholdige jorde.

Puligny Montrachet vinificeres og lagrer herefter 12-14 måneder i egefade. Vinene herfra er kendetegnet ved større dybde og fasthed end vinene fra Meursault, og ved en langt større finesse end vinene fra Chassagne. Med denne dejlige Chardonnay får du en vin med områdets helt særlige karakteristika med aromaer af mandler, eksotiske frugter, rav og hvide blomster og en smuk subtil syre. En utrolig delikat vin med finesse og kompleksitet, der ideelt ledsager moden Comté-ost, skalddyr og vildt-patéer.

Vineyards situation
Puligny-Montrachet, situated to the south of Meursault and to the north of
Chassagne-Montrachet, shares with Chassagne a handful of the greatest white
wine vineyards in the world.

Characteristics
The vineyards are centred around Puligny and a part of the Blagny hamlet, on a
gentle, east facing slope, about 230 to 390 m above sea level. The stoney clay and
chalk soil, drains well and warms through easily. Chardonnay is the only grape
variety used for the white wines.

Wine making
Maison Louis Jadot vinifies the production of growers with whom it holds
purchase agreements based on the quality of the harvest each year. The Puligny
Montrachet is vinified and then aged 12-15 in barrels.

Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy
The wines of Puligny Montrachet are generally characterised by greater firmness
and depth than those of Meursault, and by greater refinement and delicacy than
those of Chassagne. They are characterised by very distinctive aromas : almond,
fern, exotic fruit, amber and white flowers. His acidity in the mouth is rather
subtle. They can be kept between 8 and 12 years. These great wines are destined
to honour Haute Cuisine as wonderful shellfish cooked in bouillon, creamed
and poached fish, poultry liver pâtés. Also with the tastes of very strong-smelling
cheeses : Munster and mature Comté.

Preservation
This wine will certainly improve up to 5 to 8 years in a good cellar (good
temperature and humidity).
