It is said that the lord of Puligny-Montrachet divided his estate among his children: The eldest son or "Knight" (Chevalier), his daughters or "Virgins" (Pucelles) and "Bastard" (Bâtard). Each had his hand and three climates have kept their name Chevalier-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles and Bâtard-Montrachet.

Reviews
"Rich and full-bodied, but very nicely contained. Great volume and generosity, exotic on the vigorous and persistent finish. Balanced with good freshness. Tension and power."
