Domaine Matrot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Chalumeaux" 2018, 750ml

This Chardonnay from 25-year-old vines is manually harvested. Whole clusters are pneumatically pressed, settled for 24 hours, then racked and placed in barrels. Indigenous yeasts and controlled fermentation temperatures are used. The wine undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation, aged 12 months on lees in 1- to 3-year-old oak barrels, followed by 6 months in tanks before bottling.

Tasting Note:

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumaux bursts with aromas of spring flowers, white currants, citrus oil, green apple and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with lively acids and chalky grip on the finish, this is already showing well.
