Vintage Character Domaine Thomas Collardot Puligny-Montrachet “Au Paupillot” 2021 is a dry, terroir-driven Chardonnay from the stony, limestone-leaning slopes of Puligny, built on precision more than power. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by severe spring frost and challenging mildew pressure, which often translated into brighter acidity and a more taut, mineral profile in white wines. Aromas lean to lemon zest, green apple and pear with hints of white flowers, then open to gentle lees creaminess, toasted hazelnut and subtle baking spice.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate it’s medium-full yet linear, with a chalky, wet-stone snap, fine texture, and a long, quietly savory finish. Pair with roast chicken and tarragon, seared scallops with brown butter, or a simple plate of steamed freshwater fish with ginger and scallion.
Winery Background Domaine Thomas Collardot is presented as a small, family grower in Puligny-Montrachet, with an approach that emphasizes site expression through attentive vineyard work, picking for freshness, and measured élevage. Rather than leaning on heavy new oak, the style is framed around balance and clarity—using restrained wood influence and time on lees to build texture while keeping Puligny’s citrus-and-stone signature at the forefront.
