Tasting notes
The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) is an unctuous but structured wine, offering up aromas of confit citrus, buttered toast, hazelnuts and flowers, followed by a full-bodied, ample, layered palate that's thick and textural, with good underlying dry extract and wears its heart on its sleeve.

The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru, which comes from the Chassagne side, also showed some of the barrel on the nose like the Chevalier, but overall, it seems more primal and less terroir-driven. The palate is medium-bodied with a resinous entry, surfeit with extract, though I am seeking a little more finesse and mineralité on the finish. A little broadshouldered at the moment.
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.
