Histoire & tradition: Puligny may have belonged to a certain Pullius in Gallo-Roman times. His estate was called "Pulliniacus" from which is derived the name Puligny (i.e. the property of Pullius). The name Garenne, means "warren" (a place where wild rabbits lived). This piece of land, on a mild slope, is now very highly prized.
Site: the middle part of the Côte de Beaune is famous for its great wines. Puligny-Montrachet, as one of the villages of the Côte des Blancs, is one of these celebrated appellations. Clos de la Garenne is a small vineyard (1.5 ha - 3.75 acres) located on the upper reaches of the appellation.
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
2017 reveals all the elegance of our white grape varieties. The wines are floral with hints of citrus. They are round, well-balanced, and very attractive. It is a remarkable vintage.
"Great finesse and breed in this wine. The colour, barely golden, is brilliant. On the nose, refined aromas of hawthorn, fresh almond and apricot, evolving towards candied fruit, hazelnut and grilled dried fruit. On the palate, a beautiful structure harmonizing nicely with fresh and velvety sensations. Long aftertaste, especially in the flavours".
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne wafts from the glass with notes of juicy apples, pastry cream, sweet spices and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and open-knit, with succulent acids and a charming, front-loaded profile that will give pleasure on release.
