2022 Puligny-Montrachet "Vielles Vignes" Domaine Florent Garaudet

Description
From 45-year-old vines, the 2022 Puligny-Montrachet "Vieilles Vignes" from Domaine Florent Garaudet comes from several lower-slope parcels: "Les Boudrières", "La Rue Aux Vaches", "Les Reuchaux", and "Derrière la Velle". This deep terroir produces a wine of great intensity, blending power, elegance, and tension. The 2022 vintage, perfectly mastered, delivers a generous and distinguished cuvée.

Blend
100% Chardonnay. Old vines on clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, naturally fermented. Aged in oak barrels for 12 to 14 months (with a moderate proportion of new oak).
