Tasting notes
The 2016 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru la Garenne felt very primal on the nose with grapefruit and chalk aromas, rather surly and aloof at the moment. The palate is nicely balanced with a peachy core of fruit, simple and maybe missing the complexity of recent vintages. There is a pleasing salinity on the finish but I prefer the two last vintages by comparison.
