Barolet-Pernot, Pulig. 1er Cru, Clos Garenne – 2022

A refined expression of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious Chardonnay appellations, Barolet-Pernot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Garenne 2022 showcases the elegance, precision, and mineral sophistication for which Puligny-Montrachet is celebrated. Crafted from carefully tended vines and produced with meticulous attention to detail, this distinguished Premier Cru combines vibrant citrus and orchard fruit with silky texture, graceful richness, and remarkable terroir-driven complexity.

Brilliant pale gold in color with luminous green reflections, it opens with captivating aromas of white peach, pear, lemon zest, and green apple, beautifully layered with notes of acacia blossom, honeysuckle, toasted almonds, fresh butter, and delicate flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a refined, creamy texture, revealing expressive flavors of ripe orchard fruits, citrus curd, white peach, and subtle stone fruits. Vibrant acidity provides exceptional freshness and precision, while elegant mineral notes and restrained oak influence add depth, structure, and finesse. The balance between richness and freshness creates a beautifully harmonious and sophisticated Burgundy white.

The finish is long, precise, and remarkably persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, white peach, toasted hazelnut, floral nuances, and refined limestone minerality that capture the distinctive character of Clos Garenne.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with lobster, scallops, roasted turbot, grilled prawns, creamy poultry, truffle dishes, soft cheeses, and refined French cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served chilled at 10–12°C. Allow the wine to breathe for 10–15 minutes before serving to fully reveal its expressive aromas, elegant texture, and layered mineral complexity.
