Domaine Jean Monnier et Fils Puligny-Montrachet 2017

If you’re something of an enthusiast for white Burgundy, you’ll know that 2016 Burgundies are delicious but also hard to come by. During budbreak in early spring, swathes of the region were plagued by hard frosts. This was disastrous in terms of harvest quantity, but the grapes that were left were concentrated knots of flavour. Father and son Jean-Claude and Nicolas Monnier made the best of the miserly harvest. The estate was founded in Meursault in 1720 and now comprises 16 hectares extending from Puligny Montrachet to Beaune.
