Tasting notes
Bright, deep red. Dark cherry, dried rose, licorice and a nutty nuance on the nose. Lush, sappy and dense, with compelling flavors of redcurrant, cherry and minerals. This has a liqueur-like quality without losing its sappy freshness or energy. Wonderfully light on its feet. The very long finish features a whiplash of flavor and lovely lingering perfume. I seriously underrated this beauty from barrel a year ago.

Good medium red. Reticent nose hints at black cherry, chocolate and game; some raspberry and strawberry emerge with aeration. Sweet but closed, with firm tannins holding the upper hand today.
Cask sample. Perfumed and deep. Crunchy fruit – quite severe. May always be quite hard work. Tough stuff. (JR)
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.
