Black cherry, chocolate and herbs on the nose. Sweet, fruity and agreeable, with moderate depth and lovely balance. An easy-to-taste wine.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
