The 1978 Bonnes-Mares from this now-defunct producer is just magnificent. It has a spellbinding, lifted bouquet of plush red fruit, ash and hoisin , all quite wild (you could say sauvage ). The palate is medium-bodied with a perfect line of acidity, red plum and crushed strawberry mingling with Provençal herbs. There is lovely weight and length and a pixelated finish, completing one of the best 1978s that I have encountered in a long time. Tasted at a private dinner in Beaune.

About the producer

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.
