Florence Cholet is a winemaker to watch – having returned from working abroad she is putting her small domaine on the map. This is their top wine – 85-year-old vines growing in a vineyard just below the Grand Cru Batard-Montrachet. You can see some of that site’s famous muscle, there is a deep core of flavour, but Puligny’s racy side is here too in its lifted stone fruit and peach perfume.

Produced from 85-year-old vines planted just below Bâtard-Montrachet. One of the finest village vineyards in Puligny. les Enseignères always shows more lift and perfume on the nose, seeming both more powerful and tighter on the palate; one can feel the old vines in its concentration.
Well-travelled, ambitious and utterly committed to getting the best from her vineyards, Florence Cholet epitomises the younger generation in Burgundy. We are very proud to be working with her.
Florence Cholet has recently returned to take over the domaine that has been her families for four generations. Widely travelled, she has worked across France, the US and Australia, Florence is an ambitious and intelligent wine maker. The domaine no longer uses pesticides or herbicides, the vineyards are ploughed and since 2017 fermentations have used wild yeasts and the wines have been bottled with only a light filtration. New oak is used sparingly at a maximum of 25%. The wines show good texture and tension, balancing Puligny’s drive with succulent fruit. Her Enseignères bottling, from 80-year-old vines below Bâtard-Montrachet combines zippy acidity and peachy fruit with a deep saline structure; we don’t have much so make sure to get some while you can.
