Decanter: 96 Points
Alvina Pernot's 2023 Clos de la Garenne is a thrilling wine with concentrated aromas of passionfruit and pomelo, a hint of smoky reduction and some classic flinty mineral notes typical of Puligny. Despite the abundant freshness, the texture is rich and the finish is impressively long. The grapes from Alvina's share of the Pernot family vines were picked early, starting on 27 August; they were pressed as whole clusters and given a fairly reductive treatment in older casks. This is a domaine to watch.

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru, a lieu-dit shared between Pernot and Duc de Magenta (aka Louis Jadot) if you wish to compare, has a taut and fresh bouquet with impressive mineralité and tension. The palate shows exquisite delineation, discrete new oak just imparting a subtle creaminess to the texture. There is fine depth and a dash of spice toward the finish. This will give 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure, possibly longer.
