Productinformation
Domaine Jean Pascal is located in Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. The estate has 15 hectares spread across Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Auxey-Duresses. It produces 75% white wines and 25% reds. It is a classic estate with a modern edge. The wines are made in the typical Burgundy style and do not try to pretend to be anything other than what they are. A producer of class with elegant wines.
The wine is made from the terroirs; Les Vireux, Les Lavières, Les Hautés, which border the well-known Meursault Villages Les Luchets and Les Vireuils. The estate owns some 1.4ha in this area, the vines are on average 30 years old and are on soils rich in limestone and clay.
Since the house is based in Puligny-Montrachet, like the wines there, this Auxey - tight minerality comes to the fore. The wine has had 10 months of sur lie maturation and a further 11 months in oak barrels, about 20% of which are new oak.
The result is a gastronomic wine with freshness, a precise nose of white exotic fruit but also with buttery aromas and almonds. All balanced by nice minerality and acidity.
