Domaine Duc de Magenta - Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru 2011

"The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne Duc de Magenta shows lovely precision and minerality, with just a hint of blackberry leaf creeping in on the nose. The palate reveals a spicy attack, a little fatter than the 2011 Jadot, but it maintains this beautiful acid framework. A fine finish that lingers on the palate like a Chassagne. Very fine." (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Racy suppleness, fine length, delicacy.
About the domain :
The Gagey family's involvement with this historic Burgundy landmark came with the death of Louis-Auguste Jadot. With no heir, the estate was entrusted in 1962 to André Gagey, who remained steward until 1991, when he handed over the reins to his son Pierre-Henry, now at the helm of the 225-hectare vineyard. Since 2011, Frédéric Barnier, who took over from Jacques Lardière, has been in charge of vinification, further improving the consistency and homogeneity of all batches. White wines are pneumatically pressed and fermented directly in barrels, where they are aged on lees with periodic stirring of the lees for 12 to 20 months. Red wines are vinified de-stemmed, unpressed, without cold pre-fermentation, and undergo a 25 to 27-day cuvaison before maturing for 12 to 22 months in barrels, a third of which are new.

About the domain :
This prestigious trading house is run with great efficiency by Pierre-Henry Gagey, who is deeply involved in Burgundy. The house boasts an extensive range of wines and a fine collection of terroirs, including the main Burgundy appellations. Frédéric Barnier, in charge of vinification since 2012, is gradually imposing his touch by purifying the wines. Consistency is one of the house's strong points. While the whites are well-balanced, the reds are strict and severe, with wood overpowering the fruit and even hints of acetate, which, this year, disturbed the reading of certain cuvées. Let's hope this is temporary, as the star is under threat.
