Puligny-Montrachet, on the golden road of the Grands Crus

On the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne in the Côte-d’Or, Puligny-Montrachet stretches between hills and vineyards like a well-kept secret. This Côte de Beaune wine village, cradle of the Chardonnay grape, is sure to capture the hearts of those who venture between Beaune and Santenay, further south. Here, wine is a gentle religion, an art of living sculpted by time. Alexandre Dumas put it this way: Montrachet wines are best enjoyed “on your knees with your head uncovered”.

Getting there

A terroir to savour with your lips
