Tasting notes
Good medium red. Liqueur-like red berries and a note of black walnut on the nose; shows the grenache side of the vintage. Then fresher in the mouth, creamy and concentrated, with a peppery aspect. But ultimately a wine of moderate sweetness. Finishes with a slightly dry suggestion of nut skin.

(not vinified by Jadot) Medium ruby-red. Aromatic nose melds blackberry, flowers and licorice. Supple and fruit-driven, but shows less nuance and depth than the Echezeaux. With a bit less middle-palate breadth and intensity, the finish shows a slight dryness. Could use a bit more verve. A less sophisticated wine than most of the Lardiere cuvees
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.
