The “La Garenne” climate is located at altitude, just above “Les Champgains”. Historically, a garenne was an enclosed wood reserved for the lords for hunting, particularly small game such as rabbits - the origin of the well-known expression ‘lapin de garenne’.

Tasting
The bouquet is seductive in its finesse and complexity, combining delicate floral notes of hawthorn with aromas of dried fruit such as almond and apricot, which evolve subtly towards hints of candied fruit. The palate is full-bodied, both round and solidly structured, carried by a beautiful harmony. The long, invigorating finish elegantly prolongs the balance between richness and freshness.
Food pairings
Our Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru "La Garenne" is a very good choice to pair with fish in sauce, shellfish or blue cheeses.
