2023 Domaine Larue Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne

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 a lot of 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 decided to bottle them 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: the vines are pruned short and the harvest is green, so that the yield per hectare is low. Few pesticides are used and the grapes are picked by hand.

The terroir is located near the hamlet of Blagny. Four plots face east at an altitude of 330 meters and are situated on a hill above a subsoil of limestone blocks. On the surface, the fine earth is mixed with a multitude of white stones. After ploughing, fossilized shellfish are easily found. These
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' is a magnificent white Burgundy that combines power with elegance and freshness. In the glass, the wine has a light straw yellow color with honey, vanilla, white and ripe yellow fruit, minerals, nuts and light butter in the nose. In the mouth a soft attack with a large juice content and firm minerality. Lots of acids of the right kind and enormous aftertaste.
