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

Bettane & Desseauve
"The Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Garenne Duc de Magenta displays beautiful precision and minerality, with just a hint of blackberry leaf on the nose. The palate reveals a spicy attack, slightly richer than the 2011 Jadot, but it maintains this beautiful acidity. Beautiful texture on the finish that lingers on the palate like a Chassagne. Very refined." (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
Elegant suppleness, fine length, delicacy.
About the estate:
The Gagey family became involved in this veritable piece of Burgundian historical heritage upon the death of Louis-Auguste Jadot. With no heir, the estate was entrusted in 1962 to André Gagey, who remained its manager until 1991, when he handed over the reins to his son Pierre-Henry, who now oversees the 225 hectares of vineyards. Since 2011, Frédéric Barnier has been in charge of winemaking, perfectly succeeding Jacques Lardière and further improving the consistency and homogeneity of all the wines. The whites are pneumatically pressed and fermented directly in barrels, where they are aged on lees with periodic stirring for 12 to 20 months. The red wines are vinified destemmed, uncrushed, without cold pre-fermentation, and undergo a vatting period of 25 to 27 days before beginning their 12 to 22 months of aging in barrels, a third of which are new.

About the estate:
This prestigious wine merchant is run with great efficiency by Pierre-Henry Gagey, who is very involved in Burgundy. The company has an extensive range and a beautiful collection of terroirs, including the main Burgundy appellations. Frédéric Barnier, who has been in charge of winemaking since 2012, is gradually making his mark by refining the wines. Consistency is one of this house's strengths. While the whites show beautiful balance, the reds are strict and severe, with woodiness dominating the fruit and even acetate notes, which this year detract from the enjoyment of certain vintages. Let's hope this is temporary, as the star is under threat.
