Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne Domaine Duc de Magenta 2018
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
A full-bodied dry white wine from a tiny walled vineyard in a perfect location, with complexity conferred by very old vines.
Harvest Note
This was a somewhat turbulent growing season. Lack of soil moisture and a poor fruit set diminished the harvest volumes.
Tasting Note
Bright floral notes and candied citus highlight the complex aromatic profile. The concentration of the site and old vines is evident in the tightly wound classic flavors.
