2022 Domaine Larue Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne

The brothers Didier and Denis (and his son Bruno) Larue have their domaine in Gamay, a hamlet northeast of Saint-Aubin. The vineyards are therefore 'on the good side' of Saint-Aubin, namely on the side of Chassagne and Puligny Montrachet. In addition to Saint-Aubin, the domaine also produces wines from Chassagne and Puligny Montrachet, appellations that appeal more to the imagination, because the best white wines in the world are made there. The family has owned vineyards for several generations, but Didier and Denis have decided to start bottling themselves. In a short time they have acquired a very good reputation with an honest, pure, teroir-oriented style at relatively good prices. The vineyard management is conscientious: short pruning and green harvesting take place, so that the yield per hectare is low. Few pesticides are used and the produce is picked by hand.

The terroir is located near the hamlet of Blagny. Four plots face east at an altitude of 330 meters and are located on a hill above a subsoil of limestone blocks. On the surface the fine earth is mixed with a multitude of white stones. After plowing, fossilized shellfish are easy to find. This
old vines of the Chardonnay variety were planted in 1946/1950/1963 and 1975, at a density of 10,000 vines/ha over an area of 59ares83 (5983 m²)

The Domaine Larue Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'La Garenne's is a beautiful white Burgundy that combines strength with elegance and freshness. In the glass the wine has a light straw yellow color with honey, vanilla, white and riper yellow fruit, minerals, nuts and light butter. In the mouth a soft attack with a strong juice content and strong minerality. Lots of good acidity and a huge aftertaste.
