Lemon, apple and spicy oak on the rather subdued nose, along with a hint of minerality. Much more backward than the Goutte d'Or but also showing less personality today. Firmly citric and tightly wound. Lardiere says this was the best of the Meursault premier crus in cask. Clearly needs more time in bottle.
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.
