Description
Located at the top of the hill in Blagny, La Garenne produces wines of great finesse. The topsoil is relatively deep with hard limestone beneath. The nose is floral and leads into a suave, creamy fruit attack on the palate. The finish is pure and mineral, with acids that roll over the tongue.

Critics reviews
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Village from Chalumaux) has a rich bouquet with dried honey and touches of wild mint/lemon thyme. The palate is well-balanced with a keen thread of acidity, lightly spiced with a touch of stem ginger towards the finish. I like the way this coheres in the glass. Plenty of extract for a Village Cru - this comes recommended.

Brian uses fewer lees in Puligny than Meursault, he tells me. To emphasise florality rather than body, perhaps? Pale lemon colour. The nose is refreshing, floral, herbal and slightly limey, with a pure line of fruit flowing through to the back of the palate. Super intensity, and a clean long finish.
