Puligny-Montrachet, La Garenne, 1er Cru, 2024

Smoky, rocky, with touches of herbal honey and interesting green tea notes. On the palate this is silky,with stone fruit adding to the richer, more deeply-textured feel. Chock-full of extract and grip, this is a much more backward proposition than others in the range and will need a bit of time to reveal itself. Brooding Puligny. 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.
