Located in Burgundy, at the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Puligny Montrachet 1er cru appellation ranks among the leading references for great white Burgundy wines. Classified as a Premier Cru, it expresses with precision the finesse and depth of Puligny-Montrachet’s terroirs. The Perrières cuvée comes from a climat renowned for the quality of its soils, generally marked by a predominance of limestone and a structure conducive to the production of balanced wines.
Made as a white wine, it is associated with Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage reflects the sought-after style of the appellation: a wine capable of combining elegance, tension and breadth, while preserving a clear expression of the terroir. Its Premier Cru classification gives it an additional dimension, with substance and persistence suited to ageing.
Domaine Yvon Clerget presents here a 2023 Puligny Montrachet 1er cru Perrières, representative of the standing occupied by the white Premier Crus of the Côte de Beaune. The estate highlights a cuvée from a sought-after appellation, where the precision of Chardonnay and the distinctive character of the Perrières climat provide the principal points of reference.
This wine is intended for Burgundy white wine enthusiasts who value the balance between distinction, freshness and depth. The 2023 vintage offers an opportunity to discover a contemporary expression of this appellation, to be enjoyed today or after a few years in the cellar, allowing its structure to develop greater harmony.
Serve this Premier Cru between 11 and 13 °C, after opening it sufficiently in advance to encourage its expression. A slightly generous Burgundy white wine glass will better support its development with aeration. Avoid serving it too cold, in order to preserve its texture and length.
At the table, it will naturally pair with fine fish, shellfish, poultry in a cream sauce or mushroom-based dishes. It can also accompany a pressed cheese or a mild goat’s cheese. Its structure allows for an indicative ageing potential of 5 to 8 years, depending on storage conditions and the desired evolution.
