Tasting notes
The 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru has a stricter bouquet than the Chevalier-Montrachet, more mineral-driven and, you might argue, meaner and more challenging. But maybe that’s what you want from such a noble vineyard. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Quite saline and lightly spiced, touches of ginger developing toward the finish, like the Chevalier. However, this fans out a bit more than its knightly sibling, delivering a touch more salinity on the very long aftertaste. (DIAM GC closure)

Aromas of crisp peach, mandarin oil, orange blossom and mint introduce the 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, ample wine with a broad, textural attack and juicy balancing acids, though it can't match the density or cut of the stunning Chevalier Demoiselles from domaine fruit.
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.
