The Clos de la Garenne is a Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, producing wines of exceptional finesse and minerality. Located on the classic limestone soils of the Côte de Beaune, this vineyard consistently produces wines that rival many Grand Crus in complexity and ageing potential.
Deep golden colour with green highlights. Rich and complex nose of white peach, lemon curd, toasted hazelnuts, and a distinctive flinty, stony minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated with vibrant acidity, excellent length, and a long, mineral finish of great purity and precision. A beautifully crafted Premier Cru of real distinction.
