RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...marvelously linear, textured & just plain beautiful. All of the elements come together in this striking, impeccable wine...blossoms on the palate with extraordinary finesse in its fruit, fabulous overall balance and terrific freshness...

93Stephen Tanzer

A step up in intensity and structure from the Bienvenue, with stone fruit and mineral flavors enlivened by bright lemony acidity. Youthfully imploded wine with terrific steely cut.

91-94Burghound.com

The suave and seductively textured flavors are quite expansive with excellent richness...

17.5Jancis Robinson

...marvellous force on the palate, and great linear acid with a long, long mineral finish and delicious tangy citrus fruit.

PRODUCER

Louis Jadot

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. Pierre-Henry Gagey is president.
