2023 Domaine Thomas-Collardot Hameau de Blagny Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 750ml

About This Wine

Hameau de Blagny is a Premier Cru climat of Puligny-Montrachet planted to Chardonnay on clay and limestone soils. The name designates the houses of the hamlet, where the Cistercian monks of Maizières, the fathers of Montrachet, cultivated vines in the 12th century. The parcel (18a42) was planted in 1962 and sits on the heights of the village at 350 metres above sea level, resting on rich and deep marl-limestone soils.

Harvested by hand in small pierced boxes, the grapes undergo slow and gentle pressing over four hours, followed by 24 hours of settling and racking into 350-litre oak barrels for alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeast. The wine is aged on lees for 10 to 12 months in oak, then blended and held in stainless steel vats for a further 2 to 4 months before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Nice bouquet of ripe and crunchy orchard fruits. A medium bodied and elegant palate with flavors of hazelnuts, almonds and wet stones. A wine with a fine and mineral profile, ending with a long and precise finish.
