The 2021 Les Pucelles 1er Cru displays a brilliant pale gold hue, promising complexity from the first glance. On the nose, it captivates with a bouquet of fragrant citrus blossoms, fresh almonds, and subtle hints of white peach. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with crisp acidity that beautifully balances the richness of the wine. Flavours of ripe orchard fruit, such as pear and apple, intertwine with nuances of toasted brioche and a distinct minerality that marks its fine terroir.
