Domaine Larue 2020 Puligny-Montrachet, Les Garennes, 1er Cru

Description

Near the top of the hill, above even the hameau de Blagny, The Premier Cru vineyard, La Garenne is one of Puligny’s highest-altitude sites (only Sous le Puits, also worked by Larue, and Le Trézin, worked by both Larue and Antoine Jobard, are higher). This prized climat is well situated to make precise, terroir-driven Puligny in the current climate. Brothers Didier and Denis Larue, currently transitioning control to their sons Vivien and Bruno, own very old vines planted just after World War II, and the wizened ceps produce small, concentrated grapes that give a Chardonnay of intense power and concentration allied with freshness and nerve.Aged 10-12 months on the lees in 25% new oak barrels. Extremely Limited!! 750 ml
