RATINGS

95+ Stephen Tanzer

Liqueur-like ripeness to its complex, soil-driven drive scents of red berries, dried cherry, musky underbrush & minerals... dried flowers and blood orange contributing sexy lift... wonderfully concentrated, deep 2013 transcends its vintage.

94Wine Spectator

A linear, dense style, this reveals a beam of cherry, currant and floral notes, backed by a mineral underpinning. Serious tannins and bracing acidity suggest this has the potential to age.

93-95The Wine Advocate

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin: supple in the mouth with hints of marmalade and Asian spice toward the vibrant finish.

92Burghound.com

...excellent energy to the rich and intense medium weight plus flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the tight, serious and compact finale.

17+ Jancis Robinson

There seems to be a hint of sweet, spicy oak on the nose. Lots of ripe fruit and palate impact...Lots of tannin on the end. Round and persistent...

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.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Beze

Chambertin Clos-de-Beze is a Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, and its history goes back to the 7th century when it was owned by the monks of the Abbey of Beze. After the French Revolution the Catholic Church was forced to divide the vineyard among peasants. Today it is a 38-acre vineyard, making it slightly larger than Chambertin. Chambertin and Chambertin Clos-de-Beze are adjacent and share similar limestone, clay and gravel soils. Of the 18 proprietors, the largest by acreage are Pierre Damoy, 13.4 acres; Armand Rousseau, 3.5 acres; and Drouhin-Laroze, 3.48 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
