Puligny-Montrachet, La Garenne, 1er Cru, 2023
A cool-fruited, neat yet precise Puligny with a firm- yet fine-boned structure that comes from the high altitude and poor soils of La Garenne. Poised, precise and beautifully symmetrical. A south-east facing vineyard, high up the hill just below the forest planted on white, rocky limestone soils with fossils in the subsoil, this is a cool and mineral terroir. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.
critic reviews
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru has an enticing bouquet with hints of chamomile infusing green apple scents and touches of flint that emerge with time. The palate is clean and precise with subtle tropical notes of nectarine and peach, alongside a keen thread of acidity and a finish that just needs a little more mineralité. Still, this is well-crafted and should age well in bottle.
