Château de la Crée Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru La Garenne Chardonnay
Context

Winemaker Tasting Notes

The nose is elegant, with notes of menthol and spice (coriander). On the palate, the attack is floral and delicately balanced between acidity and richness.

Vintage Notes

The winter was mild, but the alternation of warm and cool periods slowed the vines’ growth cycle, thus budbreak was expected for late March - early April. As spring frost spared our vines, flowering began toward the end of May. A first heatwave came in early July, followed by a second one between August 10th and 25th, slightly delaying veraison. At the Château de la Crée, harvest started on September 3rd under summer conditions. 2023 marks the second consecutive vintage delivering both above-average yields and quality. The Chardonnay has reached optimal ripeness while preserving a lovely freshness. The Pinot Noir shows great aromatic structure.

Puligny-Montrachet

The crown jewel, and most coveted of our Chardonnay vineyard collection that we proudly call our own. Our Puligny-Montrachet vineyard sits at a higher elevation where the vines thrive as they draw rich nutrients from the bountiful soil. Nestled just a stone's throw away from the esteemed Grands Crus, these soils humbly boast their proximity to greatness. Clayey alluvial soil with coarser textures grace the top of the slopes, whereas a finer, silky layer comprise the foot of this vinous canvas. With exposures facing East and South-East, the vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet bask in the sun's first light and warmth throughout the day. Poised at altitudes ranging from 230 to 320 meters, these vineyards find their perfect harmony.
