Louis Jadot, Batard-Montrachet 1996
I do adore the 1996 vintage for white Burgundies - when they are not premoxed. This was the reason why I originally bought three bottles of Batard-Montrachet 1996 from Louis Jadot - around 15 years back or more. Sadly not the bedst investment - one … [Read more...] about Louis Jadot, Batard-Montrachet 1996
Vineyard Insight: Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses
Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is the delight of Burgundy ... filigree, sensual, cool and refined. The female pendant to Musigny with the same type of regal minerality - yet more delicate and lightfooted - without the sheer power and depth of the … [Read more...] about Vineyard Insight: Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses
Louis Jadot, Savigny Les Beaune 1er cru 2008
The 2008 Savigny Les Beaune 1er cru Blanc has entered a semi-matured state. The nose is offering lovely yellow fruit - notes of belle de boscob apples, almonds, acacia - brought forward by a citrus infused minerality. On the palae - fresh with the … [Read more...] about Louis Jadot, Savigny Les Beaune 1er cru 2008

Maison Louis Jadot, Bonnes Mares 1962
This bottle of Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares 1962 is a bit past it's peak, but still alive and kicking. It's starting out with a quite aged impression - maderized fruit in the nose and a sweet, dense and rich midpalate. After 20 min in the glass the red … [Read more...] about Maison Louis Jadot, Bonnes Mares 1962
Maison Louis Jadot, Beaune Les Avaux 1999
The Louis Jadot Beaune Les Avaux 1999 is showing beautifully but is still 10 years away from full maturity - the 1999s really needs time. In the bouquet cherries, amaretto cherries, sous-bois + a deep quite earthy minerality. On the palate rich ... … [Read more...] about Maison Louis Jadot, Beaune Les Avaux 1999
Louis Jadot, Chambertin Clos de Béze 1996
The Chambertin Clos de Beze 1996 from Jadot is a quite brutal wine ... and it needs at least one if not two decades in the cellar to unfold. The nose is intense with red and dark fruits .. hint of sous-bois is the only true indication of age. On the … [Read more...] about Louis Jadot, Chambertin Clos de Béze 1996
