Philippe le Hardi Puligny Montrachet 2021

About the Winery: One of Burgundy’s largest wine Domaines. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable Château with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable château, with its varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region’s history. Its vineyards are split between the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise. The diversity of its ‘climats’ results in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.

About the Wine: Just a few meters from the Grands Crus, this Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée instituted in 1937 offers a white wine with a strong personality and an outstanding reputation. The vines often grow in brown limestone soils, or limestone with alternating marly clay-limestone banks, sometimes deep or right on the base rock. 

This is an intense and precise wine. Optimal drinking window is 3 to 7 years.  Aged for 18 months, 30% new oak barrels.
