The finished wine first rests in wood for about a year and for a further 4 to 6 months in steel tanks. The puligny-montrachet from domaine de montille is a wine of great elegance with a golden color and a broad and fragrant aromatic profile. On the nose, it reveals aromas of fresh fruit and white flowers, honeysuckle, and citrus. On the palate, it is smooth and lively. It has a silky texture, a savory character, and an acidic vein that leaves a refreshing and thirst-quenching sensation. The finish is long and recalls subtle notes of toasted almonds. Try it with scallop risotto, chicken in a creamy sauce, and goat cheese.
