Colour

95/5000 Clean and bright Red color with slightly orange reflections. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

Entrance with exuberant aromas, a fantastically well-aged Pinot Noir. Explosions of attractive currant, cherry aromas and a certain minerality that gives it an indisputable personality.

TASTE:

Entry with a certain density, slightly sapid and with very vivid tannins, where the notes of redcurrant, cherry and the terroir are reaffirmed again, with a more than accentuated minerality.

Thanks to its complexity and at the same time delicacy that it gives off, we recommend serving it with dishes of slight gustatory power. For example; Lamb, duck magret and / or cheeses of some power.

Maison Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most respected negociants. Founded in 1859 by the Jadot family, the prestige and quality of the estate’s wines were well established in the 19th century. The family continued buying highly desirable vineyards in the 20th century. In 1985 the estate was sold to Rudy Kopf, Jadot’s American importer. Located in Beaune, the estate has 336 acres of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay. Though all the maison’s wines are known for their high quality, signature wines are the Bonnes Mares, Chambertin-Close de Beze, Chevalier-Montrachet les Demoiselles, Corton-Charlemagne, Le Montrachet and Musigny. Long-time Jadot winemaker Jacques Lardiere, who retired in 2012, was legendary for his skill and attention to perfection, and he set a very high standard for winemaking at Jadot. Clive Coates calls Lardiere “a fountain of knowledge and a man of genius…And you will never be anything less than highly satisfied with his wines.” Chapelle-Chambertin is a 13.5-acre Grand Cru vineyard just north of Griotte-Chambertin in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. Its name comes from the chapel of Notre Dame de Beze, a chapel built in 1155 by the monks of Abbey de Beze and demolished several centuries later during the French Revolution. There is not much slope in this vineyard, nor much soil. Louis Jadot and Claude Dugat have small parcels here, though the largest landholders are Pierre Damoy, 5 acres; Ponsot 1.7 acres; and Jean and Jean-Louis Trapet, 1.5 acres.
