Domaine Faiveley
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Champ Gain
In 1879, Puligny added its name to that of its more renowned Grand Cru: Montrachet. The exceptional terroirs of Puligny-Montrachet offer optimum conditions for the Chardonnay grape variety. The “Champ Gain” climat covers 10 hectares of vines situated just below “La Garenne” on the upper parts of the hillside. The name of this parcel signifies “land reclamation on the forest”. The domaine has owned this climat since the 2014 vintage.
This 1.05-hectare plot, planted in 1955 and 2017, features light, shallow, pebbly soils with southeastern exposure and is cultivated according to organic farming practices.

Attractive nose offering subtle and seductive notes of citrus and exotic fruits combined with delicate toasty notes. The palate is rich and well-balanced with a smooth mouth-feel and taut, mineral structure. A very harmonious wine with exceptional aromatic persistency.

"The classical elegance of Puligny-Montrachet is presented in a very fresh and pure manner with citrus zest and chalky energy. Also aromas of blanched almonds and some garden herbs. Stony, long and precise finish with beautifully integrated fine tannins. From organically grown grapes. Fermented and matured in barriques, one-third new."
