Corinne Guillemard-Clerc is a 3rd generation farmer, and the first to make wine and bottle under the family name. Still, she is a grower first and foremost, with only 30% of her production being bottled. Tiny by most standards, she owns a modest 25 acres spread over 15 appellations, most in Puligny and Beaune.
“Les Parties” is an exceptional vineyard located in the village of Puligny-Montrachet. While sourced from a “lesser” vineyard, Corinne treats this wine exactly the same as she does her 1er Cru Puligny – hand-harvested and sorted, then pressed immediately to avoid any risk of oxidation. The juice is then put straight into oak barrels (20% new Allier – the fancy ones!) and held for 9 months.
