The soil is quite rich in colluvium and small pebbles. The wine comes from a blend of around sixty selected plots located both in the village of Puligny-Montrachet and also in Meursault. Three plots of the Côte Chalonnaise and ten in the Hautes Côte de Beaune complete the supplies. The wine is produced like the greatest.

Tasting notes
This wine is expressive. The aromas of yellow fruits, peach, grilled almond and lemon peel dominate on a mineral background. The attack is full and warm with a slightly smoky finish.
Food and wine pairings
Ideal with a fillet of swordfish marinated in lime, fried calamari or a hot or cold Brie.
Reviews
"A width of ripe lemon freshness – an impression of weight. Bright, direct, bubbling with energy and the accent of salinity is clear. Wide, waves of tasty mineral flavour – impressively long lasting for the label. That’s an excellent Sétilles."
"Pale lemon, remarkably steely for the vintage. Pure lemon and lime notes in the mouth with a fine clean pure finish."
