Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne from Louis Jadot (Domaine du Duc de Magenta) has a very ripe, tropical-tinged bouquet that lacks both definition and mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry and good weight in the mouth, but I just feel this was picked a couple of days too late? It is certainly not a poor wine; however, I was expecting more Puligny in my Puligny. Tasted September 2017.

(these 80+-year-old vines, which Frédéric Barnier described as "near the end of their lives," produced just over half of a normal crop in 2014 as they suffered through a hot, dry flowering): Very ripe, inviting aromas of yellow peach, butter and clove. Wonderfully rich, plush and sweet, but the ripe yellow peach fruit and creamy old-vines texture are enlivened by mineral lift. Finishes tactile and very long, with a strong impression of dry extract. A superb vintage for this consistently excellent wine bottling.
The 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1Er Cru Clos de la Garenne, which I thought was a monopole but apparently is not, comes from 90-year-old vines, some of the oldest belonging to Louis Jadot. Despite their age, they are still productive. It has a very refined bouquet with a surfeit of walnut and popcorn scents allied with fine mineralité. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, very tensile with just a twist of bitter lemon lending edginess towards the finish. Very fine, very classy.
Within all the delicious creamy aroma there’s a light note of blossom and pear. Delicately fresh with a fine mineral quality. Tight and still creamy but a tiny bit dilute on the mid palate so that the finish is just moderate. (JH)

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.
