Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne
The jewel of the Abbaye de Morgeot, the Clos de la Garenne is a monopole of the estate, a rarity in the Burgundian winegrowing landscape. Set at the heart of the Puligny-Montrachet appellation in the Côte de Beaune, this Premier Cru embodies the very essence of the limestone terroir that has built the worldwide reputation of the great white Burgundies. Here Chardonnay finds a singular expression, marrying mineral purity with aromatic complexity, the fruit of expertise handed down by the Mac Mahon family, Duc de Magenta, since the 19th century.
The 2022 vintage offers a remarkable balance between richness and freshness. The vines, between 35 and 50 years old, have produced grapes of exceptional concentration, vinified with the precision that characterises the domaine. Ageing in French oak barrels for 12 to 16 months, one third of which are new, lends a subtle oak nuance without ever masking the expression of the terroir. This great cellaring wine ranks among the most sought-after cuvées of the Côte de Beaune, prized by enlightened amateurs and collectors the world over.
The robe is a brilliant pale gold with green highlights, a sign of youth and vitality. This Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru represents a confidential production of around 4,000 bottles a year, a testament to the estate's exacting quality standards and to the limited size of this exceptional clos.
