2012 Puligny Montrachet Clos de la Garenne Duc de Magenta
Buying options
Tasting notes
Bright yellow. Mirabelle and lemon aromas are accented by a minty nuance. Boasts very good juicy lift to its lemon and peach flavors but less richness and extract than the Folatieres; there was more juice in the Clos de la Garenne grapes, noted Barnier. I like the balance and the vivacity of fruit here. (There's no Pucelles in 2012 as the grower would not give up the fruit.)

Lively flavours with delicate layers of nuts, jasmine flowers and minerally, salty notes on the finish. Silky texture and a lingering palate. Made from vines that are more than 80 years old.
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.
