Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Champs Gains” 2018 – Dureuil-Janthial

A refined and expressive Premier Cru, combining precision, depth, and classic Puligny elegance

Terroir

Sourced from the Les Champs Gains Premier Cru vineyard in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet, this wine comes from a highly regarded terroir known for its finesse and consistency. The vineyard lies mid-slope on well-drained clay-limestone soils, ideal for expressing the purity, tension, and mineral precision of Chardonnay. The Côte de Beaune climate, with its marked diurnal temperature variations, allows for slow, even ripening, preserving freshness, energy, and aromatic complexity. Crafted by Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial with a meticulous and low-intervention approach, this wine offers a faithful and elegant expression of its Premier Cru origin.
