Puligny Montrachet, Les Garennes, 1er Cru, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
Lemon and bergamot on the nose betray a palate that is savoury, mineral and grassy, almost austere, with fine minerals and broad stony herbal notes. Just 15% new oak employed here. One of the estate’s and Puligny's highest vineyards planted on poor stony soils.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with gravelly scents that unfold with each swirl. It's quite strict, with hints of white tea in the background. The palate is well balanced, with a slightly tangy opening, touches of orange pith and a slither of sour lemon. Stem ginger adds a bit of feistiness on the finish. Drink it over the next decade.
