Bohrmann Puligny-Montrachet 1er “La Garenne” 19

Perched high on the hill overlooking the village, the Puligny premier cru “La Garenne” particularly benefits from its elevation in the warm 2019 vintage, producing a strikingly well-balanced wine that is likely to provide pleasure over many years. The mouth shows unmistakable premier cru depth, with notes of white flowers, pear, and stone.

There’s plenty of freshness here, but it integrates with a remarkably nice mouthfeel. And there is a roundness that one rarely sees in a just-bottled Puligny 1er cru. This exciting wine is drinkable right now, but should be lights-out with another year under its belt.
