Puligny-Montrachet Cuvée Bernard Clerc

PDF

Region: Côte de Beaune

Village: Puligny-Montrachet
Level: Village

AOC: Puligny-Montrachet

Grapes: Chardonnay

Color: White

Tasting

The first aromatic notes reveal already a fine Burgundy wine, with a floral and complex nose (almond, white pepper). Mouth with tension and precision, with a solid backbone that ageing will structure and reveal.

Food matching

Springtime salad with shrimps, aioli, chicken breast in creamy mustard sauce with mushrooms.

History

This cuvée comes from a donation in 2017 by Mr. Bernard Clerc, retired vigneron from Puligny-Montrachet where he owned a significant wine estate. The traditional generosity of the Burgundians is thus clearly as alive as ever in the 21st century.
The cuvée comes from two plots in the climat “les Reuchaux”, on the Meursault side of the village, the vines being planted in 1968 and 1969. Together they comprise 18.96 ares. This is the first donation of vines in Puligny-Montrachet for the Hospices de Beaune.

Saint-Romain Cuvée Joseph Menault

PDF

Region: Côte de Beaune

Village: Saint-Romain
Level: Village

AOC: Saint-Romain

Grapes: Chardonnay

Color: White

Tasting

Pale yellow colour with green tones. A lot of precision in the nose (lime, hint of grapefruit), followed by a mouth where finesse and intensity combine. The altitude of the terroirs allow it to keep its fresh minerality throughout, defining a beautiful Burgundy.

Food matching

Oysters, octopus salad with coriander, grilled fish, thai spicy soup.

History

This wine is named after a generous benefactor, Joseph Menault, who donated vineyards to the Hôtel-Dieu in 1992. All the vines needed replanting, and this took place in 1994 (le village haut) and 1998 (Sous la Velle). The village of Saint-Romain is situated in a precipitous cleft of hills, just west of Meursault. Over half of this Cuvée comes from a steeply-sloping vineyard, Le Village Haut, located above 400 metres, near the highest point of Saint-Romain. The balance comes from Sous la Velle, 50 meters lower down. Previous vintages tasted display intense perfume, raciness and minerality.

Terroirs

Le Village Haut 0,43 ha.,

Sous la Velle 0,33 ha.

Splendid yellow bright colour. Nose with almond, quince and sunny citrus fruits. Dense mouth that nonetheless preserves its minerality and the amplitude of this great terroir.

The generosity and intensity of this wine will match food in the same vein: grilled seafood, mushroom creamy soup, poultry with truffles.

History

For the first time in 2005, this Cuvée was made up entirely from the Premier Cru Growth Les Porusots. All the vines here pre-date 1975, indeed some date back to 1936 and 1953.

AOC: Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru

Great terroirs always reveal their truth! To a shining robe follows a complex nose of yellow stone fruits, peony, lys. A wide and rich mouth keeps the show going with precision. Beautiful.

History

This Cuvée pays homage to Philippe le Bon Duke of Burgundy (1419- 1467), who gave his backing and authority to Chancellor Nicolas Rolin, during the latter’s establishment of the Hôtel-Dieu, from 1443. It is regularly one of the finest whites, and fiercely contested at auction. The Genevrières dessous section was half planted in 1978, half in 2001, with the dessus section dating from 2009.
