Florent Garaudet Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2022

Florent Garaudet started in the tiny Burgundian village of Monthelie in 2008 at the tender age of 23. He was cash-strapped but energized by a passion that only comes when your work is a labor of love. Oh yeah, he also happened to have some of the oldest vines in the region of Burgundy at his disposal, a distinct advantage when pitching business plans to wine savvy Burgundian bankers. Florent insists with such great raw material to work with, his main job is just to not mess it up. Believe me, he is not messing it up…

Managing just three total hectares of his family’s domain, the incredible 5th-generation winemaker makes some of the highest quality White Burgundies in the entire region using his (now somewhat infamous) minimalist approach. Word began to catch on. Before too long, Florent had to expand. You can see it plain as day when you are at the winery tasting and can see all the buzz around the place – there’s 100% a legend in the making here…
