White dry
Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne 2022 - this pinnacle of elegance in the glass comes from the famous Puligny-Montrachet region, where the grapes are grown in calcareous, mineral-rich soil, which gives the wine a unique sophistication.
The wine exudes delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon peel, peach and roasted almonds. The taste is dominated by an elegant mineral structure, a soft integration of oak notes and a long, refreshing aftertaste. A perfectly balanced and expressive wine, with long aging potential.
La Garenne is one of the higher Premier Cru plots in the Puligny-Montrachet region, characterized by calcareous, stony soil. The year 2022 was quite warm, but balanced, so the berries were characterized by excellent concentration and acidity.
Exceptional winemaking: the grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press to keep the juice as clean as possible and to preserve its delicate aromas. The juice is left to rest for several hours to allow the larger particles to settle. This results in a cleaner wine with a better texture. The wine is fermented in oak barrels, some of which are new (usually around 20-30%). Malolactic fermentation almost always occurs. The wine is aged for around 12-18 months in oak barrels, only a small part of which are new. This ensures a subtle oak effect that does not overpower the fruitiness of the Chardonnay. Regular batonnage (yeast stirring) is carried out to give the wine more volume and complexity. After ageing, the wine is gently filtered and bottled.
Serve at 12-14 °C. Perfect with seafood, fresh oysters, grilled fish, white meat or soft creamy cheeses. Also an exceptional aperitif wine.
Complex smoky and nutty character, excellent concentration with a wonderful mineral acidity that keeps this very bright through the long, multilayered finish. No hint of anything exotic or overly ripe in spite of the ample depth.
