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.

Les Enseignères is one of the most renowned village-level climats of Puligny-Montrachet, situated directly below the Grand Cru Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Its privileged position on the slope gives the vineyard exceptional potential for producing Chardonnay of depth, precision and mineral character.

The soils are predominantly limestone and marl, with a relatively shallow topsoil that allows the vines to benefit from the mineral structure of the Côte de Beaune. The combination of clay and limestone provides both richness and freshness, creating wines that are more concentrated and textured than many village-level Puligny expressions.

Chardonnay from Les Enseignères typically shows lemon, pear, white flowers and ripe stone fruit, with almond, hazelnut and subtle pastry notes developing with age. The palate is elegant and generous, supported by vibrant acidity and a persistent chalky, saline character.

Its position immediately beneath the Grand Cru vineyards is central to the identity of Les Enseignères. While classified as Puligny-Montrachet Village, the site can produce wines with remarkable concentration and complexity, often approaching the depth and texture associated with Premier Cru terroirs.

Les Enseignères represents the refined, mineral and generous side of Puligny-Montrachet — a prestigious vineyard where limestone, position and Chardonnay combine to create wines of exceptional elegance and ageing potential.

2024 is a classic, fresh and highly precise vintage for Puligny-Montrachet, particularly attractive for Chardonnay lovers seeking tension and minerality rather than the fuller, riper style of 2022 or 2023. The growing season was cool and exceptionally wet, creating significant disease pressure and reducing yields in parts of Puligny. A sunny, dry period in September nevertheless allowed the Chardonnay to reach excellent maturity

The wines show bright citrus, green and yellow apple, white flowers and fine stone-fruit, supported by vibrant acidity and pronounced limestone minerality. The overall style is linear, energetic and elegant, with a particularly clean and saline finish.

Compared with 2023, the 2024 Pulignys are generally less opulent and more focused, with greater tension and precision. The best examples have excellent balance and should develop beautifully with bottle age.
