Up until a few years recently, I didn't believe I liked white wine. I was happy in my world of red…read more When I went to Manresa and the server suggested that I try some White Burgundy, I was game. Very intriguing I thought. RN74 opened soon after and what better place to try another Meursault but at a place that is ALL about Burgundy? Perusing their vast list I happened on upon the 2005 Chateau de Puligny Montrachet. Everyone at the table raved about the wine. This was a game changer. So much so that I've been obsessed with this wine. I've since found it at the Fifth Floor, Aziza and a handful of other places. The problem with vintage wine is, it's a scarce commodity. As I seek it out it gets harder and harder to find and some point it will no longer exist and I will be sad. However I have the Domaine du Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet to make me a believer in white wine. It's been a huge revelation.

An amazing restaurant and hotel!…read more We stayed in the hotel, given that Puligny-Montrachet was a perfect location for a night to be spend during our biking trip on the wine road of Burgundy. On the suggestion of the staff, we reserved a table at their restaurant and were all but disappointed. First off, the cooking here is amazing. The card is not large, like in most good french restaurants. It's basically the Chef's menu + a couple of options. My partner went with the menu and absolutely liked her courgettes crème with soft cheese as well as the fish, whereas I thoroughly enjoyed my meat cocotte (excellent doneness, excellent sauce, excellent potato grattin) and paté en croute with whites for the latter and reds for the former. For the dessert I ordered their chocolate mousse - excellent, although a bit bitter, that paired extraordinarily well with a red advised by their caviste. Finally, to finish the meal I ordered a Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet white. It was absolutely amazing - I enjoyed it for a solid half an hour while my partner was enjoying her Champagne Rosé. Their wine collection deserves a special mention. We were tasting the wines by the glass and were advised on the pairings by the staff wine expert. We were pleasantly surprised by how well of pairings the wine expert was recommending, as well as the general quality of the wines. In fact we liked some of them so much, we ordered several bottles after checking out from the hotel. The service is excellent, but the place is all but cheap (count 80 - 250 for a dinner for two, depending on what you order and the wines by the glass that you will order) and requires a certain dress code. But it's totally worth it. The hotel itself gets bonus point for excellent consumables, calm location and high accessibility of all the common spaces and rooms. Overall, excellent experience. On the expensive side, but worth it, especially if you like wines.

The complexity of flavor and minerality in these wines are fantastic. A biodynamically grown vineyard with manual harvesting, gives way to pneumatic pressing and slow decanting. After 12 months in oaks casks, they're aged for 6 months in tanks and then bottled. Some things do benefit in a mixing of new and old technologies. Domaine Leflaive's Puligny Montrachet is one of them

In fact in the 80's I got either five or six of the eleven cases imported by Wildman Importers each year. The others went to the owner of the Water Club in Manhattan. It was so difficult to buy a case that liquor store owners would have to buy a 100 cases of Borgogne blanc to get one. I was a lucky man. I also have had all their Puligny Montrachet. I find the Clavoillon my favorite. It has been a joyous relationship with greatness, their wine and my drinking. The winery is open to visits and the tasting room is their restaurant in town. Go. Drink. Eat. Drink the best and now you can stay at their hotel across the street from the tasting room.

Surely made the decision easy to get that extra bottle or 12 since we didn't have to schlep it back in our luggage Arrived within the week via FedEx and the experience from start to finish was such a joy.

At her suggestion I ended up with an unfamiliar domaine form St Aubin that was very good and reasonably priced. I found this whole experience to be pleasant and unpretentious unlike a few other experiences at local wine sellers. There was a nice selection available for tasting and covered the whole area around Chassagne-Montrachet. I wholeheartedly recommend Caveau as a place to stop and get to know many small producers in this area. I was looking to discover a small local producer and when I returned to my hotel and asked the owner to put the wine (white) in the fridge to chill a bit she remarked what an interesting bottle and asked where I found it. High praise from a local I believe.

We met the farmer at the office, and he and his wife were so nice and informative! He took us on a very informative tour. The tour was just the 3 of us in our group, so we took time to ask a lot of questions and learn a lot about the business. They make their wine "the old fashioned way" in many respects, so it was incredibly interesting to learn about their processes and their history. The wine cellar was really cool as well. We had an awesome time walking through and seeing their older bottles. All in all, we had a great experience here. We tasted a few wines and bought a few bottles. Everything we tasted was very good, and we are excited to try our bottles when we get home!
