2019 Dom. Gerard Thomas Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne 0,75lt.
Lemon zest, mint, and wet stone to the fore on the nose. The palate is similarly stony, with bright acidity cutting across the orchard and stone fruit character. With a note of fresh almond on the finish, this is steely and focused.
90 POINTS JANCIS ROBINSON
94 POINTS CELLAR TRACKER
Gérard Thomas has been quietly running his estate situated in the quaint, tucked away, Côte de Beaune village of Saint-Aubin since 1982. His two daughters, Anne-Sophie and Isabelle have been working with him for a number of years.
Their vineyard holdings extend to around 12 hectares in the Côte de Beaune appellations of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin itself. While they make a small amount of red wine, in this part of the world Chardonnay is king and it's their whites on which their reputation is based.
Not being based in the nearby prestigious communes of Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet might mean that they go a little bit under the radar compared to some other producers. However, without any doubt, they are the equal of many of their better-known peers and, for sure, their wines with the Saint-Aubin appellation are extremely good value for money from this part of Burgundy.
