Home to some of the world’s most extraordinary Chardonnays including the famous Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet is the 216 hectare geographical middleman of the white wine villages, bordered by Meursault to the north and by Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. Situated just above « Champgains », on marl and limestone soils, the vineyard of « La Garenne » benefits from an ideal south-easterly exposure. In ancient french ‘La Garenne’ means a wood surrounded by walls reserved for the lord of the manor, for the hunting of small game in particular rabbit.
With its pale yellow hue, the Puligny Garenne 2018 offers a complex nose with honeysuckle, vanilla and silex notes. This wine is very long and nicely balanced on the palate, it reveals white fruits aromas with hints of almond paste.
Notes of wet stone and fresh Mirabelle make for a welcoming nose on this wine. A tropical whiff of fresh pineapple lends a sunny, generous note. The palate confirms this with its rounded, almost honeyed juiciness, expressing the vintage but also the locale in its wonderful limestone depth. Concentration and freshness become apparent on the finish. Wine Enthusiast – 92
