One of Burgundy's leading producers, Domaine Faiveley, purchased Domaine Monnot in Puligny-Montrachet in April for an undisclosed price. The domaine's 12.35 acres are located in some of Puligny-Montrachet's top Chardonnay-growing areas, including parcels in grands crus Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet, in three premiers crus and in villages-rated vineyards.
