Tasting notes
Passerillage-inflected aromas of orange oil, peach, barley sugar, apricot and freshly baked bread preface the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne (Duc de Magenta), a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy wine that's ample and enveloping, with lively acids and a long, saline finish.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru has quite a reserved bouquet, well defined, but stricter than the other Puligny ‘20s from Jadot. The palate is well defined with a fine bead of acidity, cohesive with good weight, although the finish requires a little more tension and mineralité. Closure: Diam
Cask sample. Ripe pear and citrus, fragrant, stony/chalky. Sweet and sour on the palate. Very crisp. Pure and citrusy but not a lot of depth. More length than depth, in fact. (JH)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
