RATINGS

92+ Stephen Tanzer

Aromas of pear, white peach and spicy oak. Dense, tactile and strong, displaying serious intensity and lift to its mineral and floral flavors. This penetrating, sharply focused wine finishes with terrific verve and grip and a strong impression of mineral-driven acidity.

Notes of gunflint, citrus peel and green apple serve as a pretty introduction to the nicely voluminous and relatively powerful flavors that back up the intensity with a taut muscularity, all wrapped in a slightly dry, warm and short finish.

La Garenne is a 24-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. It is up the slope and west of many of the appellation’s Premier Cru vineyards, and in fact wasn’t farmed as a vineyard until the mid-20th century, when the land was cleared of rocks and scrub. The elevation is 300 to 380 meters.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
