Tasting notes
Subtle, slow-to-open nose hints at pear, hazelnut and fern. Suave and fine-grained on entry, then explosive in the middle palate, with a tactile dusty stone quality and terrific thrust to the pear and pineapple flavors. This boasts excellent structure and verve and finishes long and fine, with highly aromatic floral and mineral qualities. A great showing.

Monopole. Low-key nose. Rather gruff and edgy and awkward – SO astringent! This one really stands out from the Jadot crowd. I may be accused of not understanding this wine but I really don’t see why it has to be so unfriendly. (JR)
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.
