Magnum Puligny Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2016 Cellier aux Moines

Magnum of white wine Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Pucelles 2016, Cellier aux Moines estate

Architectural jewel of the Burgundy vineyards, Cellier aux Moines is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Founded in 1130 by Cistercian monks in Givry, the Cellier and its vineyard enclosure are still preserved. During the revolution, the estate was requisitioned and sold to a family who kept it for two centuries, until the Pascal family acquired it in 2004. The Pascal family implemented a vast restoration program for both the Cellier and the vineyard. A new winery was also built, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to vinify wines with precision while preserving the authenticity of their terroir. Particularly the iconic vines: 5 hectares of the famous clos of Cellier aux Moines, a historic premier cru of Givry, as well as some prestigious plots in Puligny and Chassagne Montrachet. The estate covers 10 hectares, all cultivated biodynamically. Another feature is the absence of wine pumping thanks to this gravity-fed winery. A motto in service of wine quality: "Simplex Natura" (Let Nature do its work).

This Magnum of Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Pucelles 2016 from Cellier aux Moines has benefited from careful aging in oak barrels. The delicate and fine tannins typical of Rully have gained depth through this aging process. This wine is already very approachable and pleasantly reveals notes of red fruits (raspberry, strawberry, cherry) and a lovely touch of peony, cranberry. A straightforward and easy-to-enjoy Pinot!
