Tasting Notes
Another new wine and another of the great vineyards of the appellation, now designated 1er Cru. Macon's own Puligny - the colour is a vibrant light gold/platinum and limpid like the others. We have more dimension and power here - powerful peach, hazelnut and citrus fruit convey a Côte d'Or-like richness. This is a full-bodied, captivating wine with attractive fruit sweetness perfectly countered by firm acidity and a solid spicy spine, it finishes with superb length! - Importer Note
Jessica Litaud is an incredibly talented vigneronne who has taken over the family estate following extensive work with Jean-Marie Guffens and also Ganevat in the Jura. These really are some of the greatest wines from a new producer I’ve tried.
Jessica Litaud travelled extensively and then returned to the family estate in 2018 to settle in her native village of Vergisson, a gorgeous village at the foot of the Roche de Solutré.
She has taken over just 2ha of the family estate; her father Jean-Jacques was also a vigneron. She has immediately converted the plot to organic farming with the knowledge that this cut yields but catapults quality. You will experience this in her wines.
In the vineyards she practices mechanical weeding, picking, all synthetic chemicals are of course prohibited and in order to ensure optimal quality of the harvest, it is done manually in 7kg boxes. Temperature control is essential to ensure vinification without inputs other than the lowest possible dose of sulfur.
If these become available online at any point you should snap them up without hesitation.
