Description
What kind of wine it is
Patrick Miolane's Puligny Montrachet is a still white wine that represents the renowned Puligny-Montrachet appellation, in the heart of Burgundy. Made to highlight Chardonnay, it appears in the glass with a straw yellow colour. The aromatic profile is well defined, led by clear notes of hawthorn flowers. On the palate, it is rich, with an enveloping texture that matches a powerful structure. The sip finds its perfect balance thanks to a fresh acidity, providing harmony and a clean finish.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in the renowned Côte de Beaune area, fully expressing the Puligny-Montrachet terroir. The south-east exposure of the vineyards encourages even ripening of the grapes, while preserving the tension needed to support the palate. The vines sink their roots into loamy soils, a geological feature that gives the wine a greater tactile softness. Patrick Miolane carefully tends these plots to reflect the unique characteristics of this specific Burgundy terroir.
How it is produced
Vinification involves a slow and natural fermentation, started exclusively by the action of indigenous yeasts. Ageing lasts for twelve months and follows a balanced approach: part of the wine matures in oak barrels, while the remaining portion rests in vats. This specific technique allows the roundness imparted by the wood to be integrated while maintaining the varietal purity. The result is a white wine that combines evident softness with an overall balanced finesse.
History and Curiosities
This Puligny-Montrachet 2023 enriches the range of eight white cuvées crafted by Patrick Miolane in Burgundy. The winemaking process involves a slow and natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, which enhances the delicate notes of hawthorn. A careful twelve-month maturation, divided between vats and oak barrels, gives the wine a pleasant softness and an enveloping texture. In the glass, it reveals perfect balance, combining its power with a fresh acidity for a truly engaging tasting experience.

Operations are run by Patrick, a larger-than-life character who loves a good joke, and his dynamic, forward-looking daughter, Barbara. They make a perfect pair, each responsible for their own sphere of activity: Dad looks after the vineyard; Barbara is in charge of the wine-making and marketing.
The estate produces fourteen Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet appellations, including premier cru, villages and regional wines. The whites very much reflect the local growing conditions (the terroir), in particular the mineral quality of the soil. Where reds are concerned, the estate boasts a number of pinot noir wines which are aged for a long time and allowed to mature slowly. They are rich in red-berry-fruit flavours, with finely structured tannins.
