An assemblage of 5 different parcels. Pale colour. The nose is very nice, a little citrussy with perhaps the merest whiff of aniseed. Piercing fruit and quite nice acidity. The finish is relatively short, but this is a lovely wine.

Bouchard are significantly the largest owners in this vineyard with 2 of the 7.3 hectares. The vineyard which is in Puligny lies just above Montrachet itself but is characterised by much stonier and chalkier soil. The wine had a completely different nose to the Corton-Charlemagne, more refined with an amazing depth of high toned fruits. The density in the mouth was very similar to the C-C but to a completely different effect. Whereas the C-C starts with a bang, the C-M is more sedate but then builds to explosion on the finish. A really fantastic wine.
