Paul Pernot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 2017

The elegant nose flashes refined aromas of citrus, white orchard fruit, spice and dried rose petal, all of which is trimmed in a discreet application of oak. There is fine mid-palate concentration adding weight to the round, rich and balanced flavors that exude a fine minerality on the noticeably saline-infused finish.

Light straw-yellow. Aromas of peach and nutmeats are accented by a mineral element. Round, silky and fine-grained, showing considerable ripe citrussy appeal and a faintly malic pear quality, with some stony minerality bringing a touch of austerity. This youthfully reticent, persistent wine displays better shape and grip than the Champ Canet but could still use a bit more thrust.
