Tasting notes
Good pale yellow. Expressive, lively nose offers stone fruits and hazelnut. Big, rich, full and sweet, with broad flavors of pear and stone fruits. Very sexy Meursault with considerable length.

Tight and tense. SO determined not to be flabby! Lots of astringence on the finish. Mineral and introvert – maybe slightly too much so. Very sinewy. (JR)
This is also unusually exotic but retains plenty of the naturally seductive spice character of the vineyard that marries into rich, full and focused flavors brimming with dry extract that is, at least for now, less elegant than normal though the finish is dry and racy. This is presently on the woody side but as noted in the introduction, my comments and score assign the benefit of the doubt specifically because there is so much mid-palate concentration.

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.
