PULIGNY MONTRACHET

2019 Derrière la Velle Domaine Thomas-Collardot

EN PRIMEUR

Similar weight to the au Paupillots, but here there's an even more citrus - an extra zip of lemony freshness. Drinking range: 2022 - 2026L&S (Oct 2020)

* This is a pre-shipment/primeur offer. All orders are accepted under the TERMS of this offer which differ from the terms of the rest of the site.

(this too is rarely seen as a declared example). Once again there is an abundance of floral elements adding elegance to the aromas of passion fruit, petrol and just sliced apple. There is fine richness to the more concentrated and intense flavors that flash evident power on the slightly longer and more complex finale. This is a quality Puligny villages and worth considering. Drinking range: 2024 - Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2021)

Just one 350 litre barrel. Pale lemon colour. A light passion fruit to the nose, but no need to worry about over exoticism. Generous throughout, but just the right acidity, some melon notes, which take this away from classical Puligny style, though still a most enjoyable wine. Tasted: December 2020 *** Rating: 87-90 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Dec 2020)

Jacqueline Collardot and her son Matthieu own and run this exciting 'micro-domaine' in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. Matthieu completed his studies in 2019 and joined Jacqueline permanently, just in time for the harvest. Now they are working together we look forward to a slightly bigger production - as while she worked alone she was limited to what she could achieve all on her own, with excess grapes being sold on.

At only 2.5ha, this is an artisan project, allowing them to give unrivalled time and care to every parcel she has. Jacqueline inherited these vineyards from her father’s Domaine Thomas Pierre in 2010 after he retired and is slowly raising the profile with her incredible care and attention. Although there may not be much quantity - the quality is impeccable. These are classically shaped, bright wines that express their various Puligny terroirs perfectly.

From 2020 the domaine is now organically certified.

BURGUNDY EN PRIMEUR FAQ

OFFER: All wines are offered subject to availability and final confirmation.

PRICING: All prices are quoted IN BOND ex-VAT, by the case size stated. Please double check that the desired case size does match what is being offered as wines are variously listed in threes, sixes, dozens, halves and larger formats.

DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months. Generally, wines are shipped to your nominated location once the whole order has landed in our London City Bond account. If you require wines to be delivered by a certain date, please advise us at the time of ordering.

DELIVERY - FEES: In bond delivery to an Elephant Storage account (for more information see 'Storage Options' opposite) is free of charge. Transfer of wines to any third-party bond (i.e. not Elephant Storage) will incur an administration charge of £16.50 + VAT for all orders under £1,000. Please indicate if you would like the wine duty paid and a duty & VAT invoice will be raised once all the wines on your order are available for shipment. Once the relevant duty & VAT has been settled, we will ship the wines to your nominated address as per our normal duty paid Delivery Terms.

PAYMENT: All orders will be invoiced for immediate payment by cheque, cash, debit card or cleared funds to our account. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards for primeur orders. We reserve the right to apply a dunning charge of 2% per month on invoices unpaid after 30 days.
