Domaine Ludovic & Emilien Bonnardot, Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru 'La Garenne' 2022
Great things come to those who wait, like our Puligny Montrachet allocation from Bonnardot. These are high in demand and are the smallest production of the Domaine. This Premier Cru La Garenne is on the Blagny side, a little higher up the slopes and therefore lighter soil giving more finesse, than power and weight.
