Alex Gambal Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres 2014
Region: Puligny-Montrachet, Cote de Beaune, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France
Variety: White Wine
Rating: 93.0

A powerful wine with a great balance of fruit and natural acidity along with the citrus elements of classic Puligny. This Chardonnay is manually harvested, and the whole clusters are put in the pneumatic press and are gently pressed for 2-3 hours. The free-run juice is placed in tank overnight for natural sedimentation. The juice is then put in barrel by gravity for fermentation with its natural yeasts. Aging occurs on the lies, without racking for 10-16 months. The wine is racked once just before bottling and bottle by gravity after a light fining (no filtering) by gravity, all the while respecting the phases of the moon and the planets.
