Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep, saturated red.
Nose: Brooding yet sweet scents of cassis, kirsch, blueberry and licorice.
Palate: The compellingly sappy flavors of black fruits and spices boast superb texture and depth. Finishes with outstanding, slowly rising length, the huge but fully ripe tannins in harmony with the wine’s powerful fruit. Though its fine-grained tannins will be much less taut after a a decade or more for it to melt away. The rewards of patience will be considerable.
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir
Aging: 18 months in oak barrels produced by Jadot’s cooperage Cadus.
Award: 95pts – Wine Advocate-Parker
History of Louis Jadot
It all began with a parcel of vines. And we all know just how important these individual bits of land are in Burgundy. It was with the purchase of the Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules that the story of Maison Louis Jadot began in 1826.
Three decades. That’s the time it took Louis Henri Denis Jadot to found our house, in 1859, and to lay the foundations of a family-owned domaine. He would contribute to the renown of the wines of Burgundy by developing a negotiant business focused on selling the wines in Northern European markets.
The label of Maison Louis Jadot’s wines are characterised by the instantly recognisable image of Bacchus’s head, an image that has become, in many ways, the signature of the house and a symbol of its identity, whatever is in the bottle.
