This wine is produced from the sole holdings of the Pillot family in the neighboring village of Puligny. The “Noyer Brets” vineyard is on the southern side of Puligny not far from the border with Chassagne. It is a lieu-dit situated just beneath and to the east of “Les Enseigneres” and Bienvenues Batard Montrachet. The vines were planted in 1973. Fermented and aged in small barrel, this cuvée shows the elegance and profound minerality that mark the terroir of Puligny and offers a singular contrast to the Chassagne-situated wines of the rest of the domaine.
Critical Acclaim
An overtly floral and ever-so-vaguely exotic nose of jasmine tea, tangerine peel and pear aromas. The racy, intense and beautifully well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess good length and reasonably good depth. However, my sense is that the underlying material is so good here that much more depth will very likely develop. In sum, this is one to look for provided you intend to cellar it for at least a few years first.
