Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne Premier Cru Duc de Magenta 2015

Professional Ratings

• 94 Wine Enthusiast

  Jadot manages this family-owned vineyard that is situated at the heart of the range of premier crus of Puligny. The wine treads a fine line between elegance and richness, restraint and power. Spice from the wood aging lifts the green and citrus fruits, giving a deliciously balanced wine.

• 93 Wine Spectator
  Though tightly wound, this elegant white shows harmony between the lemon pie, pastry, toast and baking spice notes. Turns toastier on the long finish, but has both intensity and length. Best from 2020 through 2033.
• 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne, under the "Domaine Due de Magenta" label, has an expressive bouquet with good fruit concentration: dried honey, orange zest and a touch of pralines developing in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry with a keen thread of acidity, nicely balanced with a harmonious and focused finish. This is worth looking out for, once in bottle.
  Range: 90-92
• 90 Decanter
  In 2015, the Clos de la Garenne offers a riper expression of Puligny, with aromas of peaches and white flowers. This is followed by an ample palate, of greater volume but less finesse, minerality and length than its premier cru siblings.
• 90 Wine & Spirits
  Ripened to flavors of lemon custard, honey and beeswax, this sustains enough mineral zing to keep its fullness girded and shapely. It’s a substantial 2015, needing hours in a decanter to show itself completely, or years in the cellar to evolve.
