Tasting notes
(from vines at the top of the slope): Pale straw-yellow. Musky, expressive aromas and flavors of apple and spices lifted by a mineral topnote. Plush and sweet in the mouth, conveying an impression of high-altitude energy if not particularly elevated acidity. Finishes spicy and slightly phenolic, with lingering fruit and mineral flavors enlivened by a note of white flowers.

The 2015 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru la Garenne has an elegant bouquet with hints of white flower permeating the citrus fruit, certainly a level up from the village cru in terms of complexity. The palate is balanced with light peachy notes on the entry. There is good depth and a fine line of acidity, hints of almond developing towards the satisfying if slightly conservative finish.
Musky aromas of lemon, lime and lichee are lifted by a floral topnote. Suave and fine-grained, with the wine's slightly exotic character nicely countered by brisk herbal and citric elements and a touch of salinity. Not hugely concentrated but silky and inviting.
