Maison Louis Jadot's principles of vinification balance tradition and technology, and focus on the purest expression of the terroir, or qualities unique to the microclimate, through the medium of the vine. With rare exception, Burgundies are single varietal wines, produced from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Gamay Noir; their singularity is derived from an extraordinarily refined perception and elicitation of the subtle differences among different terroirs. It is Jadot's fundamental conviction that the expression of each wine's origin and typicity resides in interfering with nature as little as possible.
This firm, amply structured premier cru shows ripe, concentrated berry and dark stone fruit flavors and aromas with earth, mineral and leafy notes leading into a broad, generous texture supported by fine tannins.--Winemakers Note
This is notably prettier than the Greves with a somewhat fresher and very red pinot infused nose that is followed by detailed, intense and firm medium bodied flavors that possess good energy and punch on the mouth coating and somewhat linear finish. I like this as it has good development potential as well as a bit more mid palate flesh though it is not a classic young Beaune as the mouth feel is somewhat stern.--Allen Meadows of Burghound 89-92 points!!
