justerini & brooks tasting note

Distinctly richer and fleshier than usual without losing its characteristic intense minerality. Crisp, savoury flavours of dry stones mixed with bright citrus fruit, a touch of greengage, and a hint of salt-rubbed limes. Chalky and tense with a rich, powerful finish. Aged in 10% new oak barrels. One of the estate’s and Puligny’s highest vineyards planted on poor stony soils.

critic reviews

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.
