Biodynamically farmed grapes, hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (partially new) with lees contact, enhancing texture, complexity, and integration.

Citrus, white flowers, green apple, and flinty mineral notes on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied palate with vibrant acidity, linear mineral-driven structure, citrus and orchard fruit flavors, subtle oak and lees texture, and a long, precise, elegant finish.

Puligny-Montrachet is one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune, renowned worldwide for Chardonnay of exceptional precision, elegance and ageing potential. The vineyards lie on limestone-rich slopes, where the combination of chalk and marl gives the wines their characteristic mineral freshness.

Puligny is often associated with a more refined and vertical style of Chardonnay, balancing ripe citrus and orchard fruit with floral aromas, fine acidity and a distinctive chalky minerality. With age, the wines develop greater texture and complexity, revealing almond, hazelnut, brioche and subtle creamy notes.

The village is home to some of Burgundy’s most celebrated Grand Crus, including Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, as well as a remarkable collection of Premier Cru vineyards.

At its best, Puligny-Montrachet combines precision, purity and richness without heaviness — a benchmark expression of Burgundian Chardonnay, defined by its fine texture, mineral tension and long, elegant finish.

Champ Gain is a high-altitude Premier Cru climat of Puligny-Montrachet, situated on the upper slopes of the village near the boundary with Saint-Aubin. Its elevated position and predominantly limestone-rich soils give Chardonnay exceptional freshness, tension and mineral precision.

The cooler conditions at this altitude encourage a slower ripening process, helping the grapes retain vibrant acidity while developing concentrated aromas. The wines typically show lemon, grapefruit, green apple, white flowers and fresh stone fruit, with almond and subtle pastry notes emerging with age.

On the palate, Champ Gain is generally more linear, energetic and mineral-driven than the richer, broader expressions from lower-lying Puligny sites. Chalky minerality and lively acidity provide structure, while fine texture brings balance and depth.

Its elevated position gives Champ Gain a distinctive identity within Puligny-Montrachet: fresh, precise and vertical, with a long saline finish and excellent ageing potential.

2022 was a warm, generous and highly successful vintage in Puligny-Montrachet, producing Chardonnay with excellent ripeness, concentration and aromatic expression while retaining the freshness characteristic of the village’s limestone-rich terroirs.

The wines show ripe citrus, pear, white peach and white flowers, often with subtle almond and creamy notes. The palate is fuller and more textured than in cooler years, supported by fresh acidity and fine chalky minerality.

Compared with the more restrained 2021 vintage, 2022 is richer, rounder and more immediately expressive, with greater fruit concentration and a generous texture. The best wines retain enough acidity and mineral structure for long-term ageing.

2022 Puligny-Montrachet is a rich yet balanced vintage — combining ripe Chardonnay fruit, elegant texture, freshness and the precise mineral character of one of Burgundy’s greatest white-wine villages.
