Description

Bordered by Meursault to the north and Chassagne-Montrachet to the south, the Puligny-Montrachet appellation is at the heart of the world's finest Chardonnay terroir, including the famous Montrachet. Situated just above the "Champgains", on limestone and marl soil, the "La Garenne" vineyard benefits from an ideal south-east exposure. At the time, a "garenne" was a wood surrounded by walls, owned by the lords for hunting small game and more particularly rabbits, hence the expression "lapin de garenne".

Vinification

Fermentation

Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, then we carry out a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put directly into barrels and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out.

Press note

Wine Enthusiast
94/100 | nov. 2025

Fresh citrus pith and pear flesh meet a dense layer of white tea, honeysuckle, salted toasted almonds, and salted butter on the nose. The palate follows with fresh almonds, fine vanilla, and pronounced salinity, all lifted by vibrant acidity. With air, the wine continues to grow in grace and nuance. Best enjoyed after 2027–2028, or now with proper aeration. — Anna-Christina Cabrales
