Medium red. Lively aromas of plum, redcurrant and raspberry. Quite youthfully unevolved, even a bit aggressive, on the palate, with firm acidity and tannins giving it an impression of structure and grip. This is aging in a particularly cool spot in Jadot cellar, and the tannins, says Lardiere, are still quite "young" today.
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.
