WINE DESCRIPTION
Michel Bouzereau Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Champs Gains' comes from the village of Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy, France known for producing some of the world's finest expressions of Chardonnay. This premier cru vineyard is known for its exceptional terroir, characterized by limestone-rich soils and a favorable exposition making it one of the first vineyards to be harvested each vintage. The winemaking process involves careful hand-harvesting of the grapes, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine showcases a beautiful balance of fruit and minerality, complemented by well-integrated oak.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
'Les Champs Gains' displays a pale golden color suggestive of a wine that has spent a period maturing in oak barrels.On the nose, it is a little shy, slowly revealing layer upon layer of citrus and orchard fruits such as lemon, grapefruit and apple. These aromas are followed by hints of white flowers, intense minerality and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it showcases a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and a rich, creamy texture. The flavors of citrus fruits continue to shine through, accompanied by nuances of stone fruits, such as peach and white nectarine. There is also a pleasant minerality that adds depth and complexity to the finish.
