B403 FREDERIC COSSARD PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1ER CRU GARENNES 2023 750ml

[Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Garennes]

In striking contrast to the graceful and refined Les Folatières stands the Premier Cru Garennes. Located further up the slope above Champ-Gain, it offers a mineral character that is more complex and distinctly individual compared to Les Folatières. Veteran connoisseurs, well aware that it develops a magnificent truffle bouquet at its peak of maturity, are the ones who quietly keep a case aging in their cellars.

[2023 Garennes, Frédéric Cossard]

Frédéric Cossard’s 2023 Garennes, much like his Les Folatières, astonishes with its immense energy and vibrancy—but rather than a diamond in the rough, this wine feels more like a torrent of lava, a beautiful chaos. This too is a wine that offers the pleasure of waiting over many years. Wine connoisseurs may not make wine, but we play the crucial role of aging it, nurturing its condition to perfection, deciding the moment of opening, and ultimately savoring the culmination of it all. In carrying out that important task, this Garennes can certainly be called a rewarding subject. (March 2026)
