Productinformation
Domaine Jean Pascal is located in Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. The estate has 15 hectares spread across Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Auxey-Duresses. It produces 75% white wines and 25% reds. It is a classic estate with a modern edge. The wines are made in the typical Burgundy style and do not try to pretend to be anything other than what they are. A producer of class with elegant wines.
The steep slope here provides a good micro-climate, with the eastern exposure fully exposing the vines to the morning sun. As in much of Blagny, the soil in the vineyard is friable and thin, consisting of limestone marl. The presence of limestone is often cited as the reason for the tight minerality of Sous le Puits wines. This applies to both red and white wines.
