Puligny-Montrachet Les Corvées Bernard Millot 2023
14%
0.75L
Intensity
A bright, precise Puligny-Montrachet, where fruit purity meets chiselled minerality and understated complexity.
More infoThe Puligny-Montrachet vines benefit from an ideal mid-slope exposure, often situated between 230 and 320 metres of altitude. There, the soils are predominantly clay-limestone, rich in white marl and limestone fragments, and in places highly draining.
Harvesting is carried out by hand at peak maturity, with rigorous sorting in the vineyard to retain only the healthiest and ripest berries. Fermentation takes place in oak casks, using only native yeasts. The wine is left to age in French oak casks for 12 months.
In the glass, a dazzling yellow hue is sublimated by light golden glints. The highly refined and distinctive nose reveals aromas of white flowers, vine peach and lemon zest, lifted by a flinty minerality, with a delicate creamy and lightly toasted nuance from discrete ageing. On the palate, a lively, precise attack unfolds into a silky texture and crystalline tension.

About the Producer Bernard Millot
In the heart of the prestigious Côte de Beaune and the picturesque village of Meursault lies Domaine Bernard Millot, now managed by Bernard and his son Emilien, making him the fourth generation to do so. The eight hectares of vines are planted in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Beaune, and grown with the utmost love and care, the idea being to allow the terroir to express itself through lively, vibrant wines.
The estate is certified organic practices, with biodynamic practices are also used (plant infusions, aeration and trellising). The soil is mainly ploughed in summer, which allows the vegetation cover to be removed naturally. Harvesting is carried out by hand at full ripeness and the grapes are placed in back baskets before being transported to the vathouse in harvesting bins. In the winery, winemaking is meticulous, with fermentation triggered by native yeasts and minimal use of sulphur. Ageing is carried out in barrels, a proportion of which have already held one or more wines.
Emilien, a generous and gifted winemaker, is also ambitious enough to plant a few rows of Syrah as an experiment, a way of anticipating the effects of climate change. Balanced wines from an estate well worth following.
