Puligny Montrachet is widely recognized as the most noble and elegant village in Burgundy, with its Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard, considered the king of white wines, representing the ultimate expression of Chardonnay's finest qualities.

The Les Referts Premier Cru vineyards face southeast, basking in abundant morning and afternoon sunlight. Located at the base of a slope, their soils are deeper and more fertile, containing higher levels of calcium and iron. This results in wines with a fuller, richer body, where fruit aromas are more pronounced than floral notes, often described as having a "Meursault style."

【James Suckling 95 pts】

Classy and powerful, showing lime peel, grilled pineapples, white sesame seeds, yellow nectarines and mangoes. All about the fruit concentration, with a full body and fleshy yet energetic layers. Fresh zesty notes linger.

In early 2011, owner Patrice du Jeu acquired the estate together with his uncle. Drawing on his family and traditional heritage, he began to uproot, replant, clear, equip and finally surround himself. In 2013, Jean-Baptiste ALINC, a trained oenologist, joined the Château and put his knowledge, skills and energy at the service of the Château to support this adventure.

For Patrice, being a winegrower is a privilege and a huge blessing that he knows how to seize and deserve.

"You can't make good wine without good grapes. To make good grapes, you have to give a lot to the vine. She knows how to give it back to us. I love wine from all regions, as long as it's made well and with love and enthusiasm

Les Heritiers Saint-Genys has vineyards in various regions, including Cote de Beaune, Cote Chalonnaise, and Beaujolais. In 2016, it even has an exclusive vineyard in Mercurey, Clos Marcilly, with a total of about 13 hectares. Herbicides are not used as much as possible. Use less chemical pesticides and use animal traction in 2017 to make the vineyard healthier~

Although Xinzhuang doesn’t have many stories, its wine score is exceptionally high! James Suckling rated none of the winery's wines lower than 90 points, and a bunch of them scored around 95 points, even as high as 98 points!
