Goedhuis, January 2019
La Garenne sits on the higher slopes of Puligny and produces a remarkably consistent wine. Hints of clementine and quince on the nose, this is a very graceful and harmonious style, with a soft, silky, honeyed texture and lovely touch of groundnut on the finish. Tremendously appealing.

Decanter, October 2018, Score: 94
La Garenne is one of Puligny's smaller and less well known premiers crus, located on the slope up to Blagny. It makes wines that generally have plenty of bite and acidity, and this example is a case in point, showing a hint of stony reduction, some vanilla spice and a core of chalky minerality.

Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
