Tasting notes
Aromas of pure lemon fruit, flinty minerals and lime blossom fill the nose, with flecks of honey hinting at richness. The wine is focused and long, the bright acidity balanced by soft minerality.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne is very pretty, bursting with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, crushed chalk and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with lively acids and a long, saline finish, it's already drinking well.
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru comes from the vineyard shared with Duc de Magenta (Louis Jadot) and its vines were planted in 1957. This has a deep, almost Meursault-like bouquet with hazelnut, almond, fern and undergrowth scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a killer line of acidity that keeps this Puligny on its tippy-ties. Very focused, just a light touch of spice towards the finish that fans out gloriously. This comes highly recommended.
