Decanter: 95 Points
Clos de la Garenne is located within Champ Canet, above Clos de la Mouchère, where Domaine Duc de Magenta has 0.84ha of 80-year-old vines that Jadot rents. Lightly crushed and fermented in cask (25% new), this gives a powerful wine, citrusty and crisp, with immense concentration and a very lively balance, even in the heat of 2020. A marvellous wine and something to seek out.
Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points
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.
Burghound: 91-93 Points
Once again, the expressive nose is elegant, pure and airy with its emphasis on floral elements, especially acacia and lilac, that add breadth to the cool green apple and sliced fennel aromas. There is excellent volume to the markedly intense and stony medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a bright, balanced and wonderfully long finish where a touch of tannic edge progressively emerges. I suspect that the tannic edginess will slowly dissipate with a few years of bottle aging.
