Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Château de Puligny-Montrachet 1999
The wine
Chevalier-Montrachet bears the title of grand cru for a reason. Its vineyards are planted on the uppermost part of the Puligny-Montrachet hillside. The wine is often considered to be the best of the three grand crus on this legendary hill (Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet). The domaine uses 5-20% new barrels made with Allier wood. After élevage in wood for one year, the wine is aged for a further four to six months in stainless steel vats to add vivacity.
The Château de Puligny-Montrachet has been owned by Etienne and Alix de Montille since 2012. They also own the famous Domaine de Montille. Etienne de Montille has been the domaine manager since 2002. The vineyard has been certified in organic agriculture since 2002 and biodynamic since 2005. The Château produces precise, refined white wines.
