Puligny-Montrachet

Puligny gained permission in 1879 to hyphenate the name of its most famous vineyard, Montrachet, to its own. Today, the reputation of Puligny-Montrachet is based around its four Grands Crus and, of these, many consider Montrachet to be the greatest white wine in the world. At its best it has an intensity, complexity and elegance that make you wonder how such a wine could be made from mere grapes.
