2022 Domaine Alvina Pernot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "La Garenne"

Note: from a .7 ha parcel that was purchased by Pernot's great grandfather; it was replanted in 1957 and a portion of the vines are aligoté. I appreciate that this sounds as though I lack imagination but once again there is a distinct coolness to the restrained nose that grudgingly offers up its combination of white flower, Granny Smith apple, lemongrass and plenty of smoky mineral reduction. On the palate the medium weight flavors exude an almost palpable stoniness that the mouthfeel is akin to rolling tiny pebbles around while the bone-dry, crisp and moderately austere finale flashes excellent length. This is impressive and also quite tightly wound so at least moderate patience is strongly advised. *Burghound Sweet Spot! Outstanding!!*
