RATINGS

92-95The Wine Advocate

"poached pear and talcum aromas...gorgeous, medium to full-bodied...powerful, crammed with poached pears, spices and ginger..fleshy, well-balanced, dense..."

92Wine Spectator

Discreet, elegant and precise, this offers appealing flavors of citrus, baking bread, flowers and spice. Fine intensity and lenght on a balanced, vibrant framework. Lingering aftertaste.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Very closed on the nose; with aeration, this hinted at apple, spring flowers and crushed stone. Bright, minty and tightly wound; extremely unforthcoming today. Best now on the building, minerally, very long finish...

90-93Burghound.com

Discreet green fruit notes with simply unbelievable amounts of dry extract on the palate and this is almost chewy.

17Jancis Robinson

Monopole. Lean and sleek with lots of fruit on the palate. A certain vegetal quality. Round with good texture and a dry finish.

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.

The elevation is 300 to 380 meters.
