2023 | Alvina Pernot Clos de la Garenne | Puligny-Montrachet Bolgheri Subtle background notes of bakedThe 2023 Puligny Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru, a lieu dit shared between Pernot and Duc de Magenta (aka Louis Jadot) if you wish to compare, has a taut and fresh bouquet with impressive mineralit and tension. The palate shows exquisite delineation, discrete new oak just imparting a subtle creaminess to the texture. There is fine depth and a dash of spice toward the finish. This will give 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure, possibly longer.
