2023 Domaine Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru La Garenne

95 POINTS: The last several vintages of this wine had escaped my attention, but the Puligny La Garenne from Faiveley is very fine, with a lovely lemony fruit accented with floral notes, hints of smoky reduction and salty minerality. The texture shows surprising freshness for the vintage, driving the wine to a pleasantly persistent finish. Faiveley purchases the grapes, but they are responsible for tending the vines and picking; they are pressed gently as whole clusters and aged over two winters in cask, 40%–50% new.
