Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes Henri Clerc 1996

The wine

Henri Clerc's Puligny-Montrachet develops aromas of white flowers, ripe fruit and hazelnut. The palate is rich, with ripe fruit aromas. The acidity appears at the end of the mouth, giving it superb balance.

About the Producer Henri Clerc

Domaine Henri Clerc et Fils was founded in the 16th century in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. In 2002, his descendant Bernard Clerc, retired and sold a large part of his vines to Vincent Girardin. The latter vinifies and matures his wines at Meursault, after manual harvesting of the prestigious vines of the Côte de Beaune, such as Bienvenue, Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. The time taken for aging in oak barrels (of which 30% are renewed each year), varies between 11 and 13 months
