The 2020 Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne is a Chardonnay from the esteemed Burgundy region in France. Originating from the Puligny Montrachet appellation, specifically the La Garenne sub-appellation, this wine is crafted by the reputable Louis Jadot.

Renowned for its white varietal, this wine is bottled with a cork closure and carries an alcohol content of 13.0%. The 2020 vintage has garnered attention for its distinctive characteristics, as highlighted by professional wine reviewers.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a commendable score of 93 points, describing it as a "medium to full-bodied" wine with a "fleshy core of fruit and chalky grip on the finish." The review further notes the presence of "citrus zest, orange oil, white flowers, and pear," which contribute to its lively and complete profile.

Similarly, Neal Martin of Vinous gave the wine a score between 90-92 points, praising its "fresh and vibrant bouquet" that includes aromas of "fresh lemon verbena, lime, and crushed stone." He notes that the wine's palate is medium-bodied with a "fine bead of acidity" and mentions that the oak is "nicely integrated," although it remains "quite vocal on the finish." Martin recommends allowing the wine 4-5 years in the bottle to reach its full potential.

Overall, the 2020 Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne demonstrates the hallmark characteristics of a fine Burgundy Chardonnay. With its vibrant aromas and balanced palate, it stands out as a noteworthy selection for enthusiasts of white wines from this prestigious region.
