Description
A blend of Collardot’s lieux-dits – satiny and seamless with huge depth of flavour.
Micro-domaine Thomas-Collardot, located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, is one of the newest estates that Chardonnay lovers need to know. In 2010, Jacqueline Collardot inherited Domaine Pierre Thomas from her father, producing her debut vintage five years later. Three years on, her son Matthieu began working alongside her, having studied winemaking in Beaune.
Unlike neighbouring Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet has a high water table, which makes building subterranean cellars impossible, and is the reason that many domaines have historically done relatively shortened élevage in cellars above ground. Not that that stops the Collardots letting their handmade gems spend a full two winters in oak before bottling in spring, giving them time to develop body and depth. These are classically styled Puligny-Montrachets with mineral-stony details from their numerous different vineyards.
"The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Climats reveals aromas of freshly baked bread, orange zest, orchard fruit and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's bright and penetrating. Unsurprisingly, it's the most complete wine in the range." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
