Domaine Rene Monnier 1er Cru Puligny Montrachet les Folatieres 2015
Domaine Rene Monnier was founded in 1723. The Domaine is now in the hands of the tenth generation of the family who own 18 hectares of vineyards in the best crus of the Cote de Beaune, one of the largest privately owned Domaines in the region.. Great attention is paid to limiting the yields in the vineyards. This guarantees the best possible quality of juice, with the correct balance between fruit and acidity. Rene Monnier's wines are well known in three star restaurants.
