Tasting notes
Clos de la Garenne is less mineral than Champ-Canet, typically producing wines with greater depth and roundness which works well with Puligny-Montrachet’s natural linearity. The 2020 has light honeyed, yellow apple aromas and brilliant richness on the palate, offset by a great line of acidity. Yellow and pink orchard fruit, pineapple and sultana flavours fill the expansive palate. It has a beautifully soft, silky texture, with pure orchard fruit notes which last beautifully on the finish. This is a wine of impressive depth.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne exhibits aromas of pear, peach, fresh mint, toasted nuts and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and charming, with an open, giving profile and a bright, saline finish, it has turned out nicely.
Very pale, a light nose with some floral character, very stony in the mouth, less flesh than the other Pernot Puligny 1ers Crus, less volume but a pleasing enough carry through.
About the producer
Domaine Paul Pernot is synonymous with Puligny-Montrachet. For the last 30 years, the estate – alongside Domaine Leflaive and Domaine de Montille (previously Château de Puligny-Montrachet) – has been one of the largest shareholders in the appellation.
