Score 94/100 · Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, Jun 2012

A muscular, full-bodied red, with pure cherry, raspberry and currant fruit. Tightens up on the finish, where subtle oak spice lingers. Balanced, on a sinewy frame. 150 cases imported.

A pretty and cool but distinctly ripe mix of upper and lower register aromas includes notes of red currant, wild red berries, earth and stone hints. The attractively energetic and focused medium weight plus flavors possess very fine mid-palate concentration with a silky yet firm mouth feel. There is excellent depth and length to the palate staining finish that is an exercise in harmony and balance though there is some youthful asperity present. Lovely and this should age exceptionally well. Drink 2024+

Score 93.5/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2012

Good bright, dark red. Oaky aromas of dried cherry, redcurrant, rhubarb and flowers, with an enticing perfumed note of maraschino cherry. Deep, tactile and rich, with its mid-palate sweetness and generosity nicely tempered by superb spicy acidity. Offers a compelling combination of red fruit and floral high notes and deeper tones of musky minerality. Very dense, fine-grained and long, with a tautness that transcends the vintage. Sexy already, but I'd cellar this to allow the wine's acids and tannins to come into perfect harmony.

The 2009 Chapelle-Chambertin possesses wonderful inner perfume and detail in its layered fruit. This shows lovely precision and depth to match the understated yet impeccably classy personality. The Chapelle is made from estate owned vineyards. This old-vine parcel is planted with bunches that give tiny berries. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. I tasted an impressive range of wines with Jacques Lardiere and his successor Frederic Barnier, who is slated to take over when Lardiere retires at the end of 2012. Jadot makes a mind-bending number of wines, but I limited myself to the best 35 or so examples. In 2009 Jadot began harvesting on September 6. All of the reds were made from 100% destemmed fruit. Maceration times varied from wine to wine, but according to Lardiere all of the wines were made with essentially the same approach. Lardiere is another of the producers who compares 2009 to 1959, and believes the wines will age well because of their density of fruit and minerality. Many of the estate’s own vineyards are farmed biodynamically, but of course Jadot also sources a significant amount of wine from other growers that is not necessarily from biodynamically farmed vineyards.
