2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne, Domaine Barolet-Pernot

This is an interesting plot that is a genuine Clos but is not physically attached to the better known Cru of La Garenne. It’s found in a clearing in the trees and has hardly any owners. Romain himself has less than 1/10th of a hectare. The soil is stony and fairly poor, giving it a fairly classical undertone. One of the two and a bit barrels is new equating to around 40%. In the mouth the wine is harmonious and salivating and really rather moreish, with good drive and vibrancy. Drink from 2028
