Puligny-Montrachet, Les Garennes, 1er Cru, 2020
A fantastic Garenne, quite possibly one of the finest we have tasted. It retains that tell-tale linear line, but with a shade more generosity and texture than usual, just enough to compliment rather than retract from the finesse and tension. Cool and refreshing lemon and orange zest fruit shimmers across the palate. Impressive. Aged in 10% new oak barrels. One of the estate’s and Puligny's highest vineyards planted on poor stony soils.
critic reviews
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru offers scents of citrus fruit, pressed white flowers and a touch of hazelnut. This opens nicely in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with a discrete peppery finish that lingers in the mouth. Impressive energy here. Good potential.
