2022 Prosper Maufoux Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru La Garenne

Bounded by Meursault to the north and Chassagne-Montrachet to the south, the Puligny-Montrachet appellation forms the heart of the world's best Chardonnay terroir, including the famous Montrachet. Situated just above the "Champgains", on limestone and marl soil, the "La Garenne" vineyard benefits from an ideal south-east facing location. At that time, a "garenne" was a walled forest owned by the lords for hunting small game, and more specifically rabbits, hence the expression "lapin de Garenne".

Immediately after manual harvesting, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, and the juice then undergoes static settling for 24 hours at 12°C. The must is subsequently transferred directly to vats where alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place. The wine ages for 14 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new.

The Prosper Maufoux Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru 'La Garenne' is rich with the typical aromas of La Garenne: buttery, lemony with notes of exotic fruit and spices, and a hint of salt on the finish. Be sure not to drink this beautiful wine too cold – that would be a shame. The ideal serving temperature is 12-14°. This is, of course, a wine perfectly suited to shellfish / oysters / seafood, fish, white meat, and poultry. Try it with monkfish in turmeric and coriander.
