PULIGNY-MONTRACHET
A few words on the appellation...
The Puligny-Montrachet appellation mainly produces white wine.
The vines, exposed to the east and south-east at 230 to 320 metres
above sea level are planted in limestone and clay-limestone soils.
100% Chardonnay
After being harvested by hand, the grapes are destalked and then
pressed ready for vinification in new 500-litre oak barrels. The
wines are then aged for 6 to 12 months in barrels that have seen
two previous vintages.
Its bright golden robe with haloed green reflections gains in
intensity with age. Its bouquet combines ripe grapes, almond,
hazelnut, lemongrass and green apple. There are also aromas of
honey, dairy products (butter, warm croissant) and minerals (flint).
It is on the palate that its balance and aromatic complexity unfold.
Ideal with poultry or seared veal, this Puligny-Montrachet will also
be prefect with foie gras, lobster and crayfish, and grilled or fried
sea fish. Goat’s cheese, Reblochon and soft paste bloomy rind
cheeses such as brie de Meaux will be good companions.
Serve between 11 and 13°C. Can be enjoyed young, but expresses
itself best in 5 years.

JEAN-LUC AEGERTER AND PAUL AEGERTER
The Aegerters, a father and son team, are creators and developers. They did not inherit an estate; they built it together, each contributing his own knowledge and aspirations. United by the same passion for nature in general and vines in particular, Jean-Luc the pioneer and Paul the visionary freely chose this profession. They began a shared story, developed their knowledge and allowed their ideas to mature. Paul, now the sole head of the family company, is continuing this family adventure and starting a new chapter: one about a flourishing business.
30 YEARS OF CREATION IN A BOTTLE
The Maison Aegerter, located in Nuit-Saint-Georges, Côte-d’Or, is thriving in a region known for both its traditions and its innovations.
The Aegerters believe that nature cannot be hurried. It must be listened to and pampered. All the vintages, from the most accessible to the most exceptional, have one thing in common: they are the outcome of a resolutely modern vision and dynamic. The best of Burgundy’s terroirs is well worth it. These passionate people are daring enough to leave the beaten track and offer all consumers, beginners and experts alike, carefully picked selections, new blends and different bottles.
