Slighty macerated black fruit nose leads to round, nicely rich, moderately complex flavors of good depth if not necessarily great length. In short, this is very pretty but perhaps not at the level one might expect.

Medium-deep red. Red fruits and spices on the nose; shows less vibrancy and clarity than Jadot premier crus from Gevrey. In a rather soft style, with easygoing, expressive flavors of cherry and spice. Reasonably intense but could use a bit more structure and grip.

Louis Jadot
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.
