Description
The middle part of the Côte de Beaune is known for its great wines. Puligny-Montrachet, as one of the villages of the Côte des Blancs, is one of these famous appellations. Clos de la Garenne is a small vineyard (1.5 ha - 3.75 acres) located at the upper reaches of the appellation. Puligny could have belonged to a certain Pullius in Gallo-Roman times. His estate was called « Pulliniacus », from which the name Puligny is derived (i.e. the property of Pullius). The name Garenne means "warren" (a place where wild rabbits lived). This piece of land, on a gentle slope, is now highly prized. Limestone soil with a mixture of ocher soil and pebbles.
The purchased grapes are harvested by hand in open crates. If necessary, careful sorting is carried out. Slow press vinification in a pneumatic press. The juice from the last pressing is separated from the free juice. After a little settling, the juice is transferred to wine barrels. The alcoholic fermentation as well as malolactic fermentation and the maturation are processed in oak barrels. The share of new barrels is approximately 20% to 25%. Maturation takes between 16 and 18 months.
Great finesse and variety in this wine. The color, barely golden, is brilliant. On the nose, refined aromas of hawthorn, fresh almond and apricot, evolving to candied fruit, hazelnut and grilled dried fruit. In the mouth, a beautiful structure that harmonizes beautifully with fresh and velvety sensations. Long finish, especially in the flavors.

Wijnhuis
Joseph Drouhin was a bold and enterprising young man who hailed from the Chablis region. In 1880, at the age of 22, he settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company there. His goal was to offer high quality wines that would bear his name. His son Maurice succeeded him and set up a vineyard estate in front of the house, buying land in some excellent appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domain its current dimension and acquired many vineyards, especially in Chablis, where he was able to recognize its true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (abolition of pesticides and other chemicals) and set up an oenology laboratory led by Laurence Jobard, the very first female oenologist in Burgundy. Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are the four children of Robert and Françoise Drouhin. They uphold the values of the house and its constant search for quality, for the enjoyment of all who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy.
With nearly 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating range of Burgundian terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin's style is an alliance between character, balance and harmony. Wines intended to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; wines that are meant to be preserved take on a luscious complexity with age.
