Tasting Notes
(from En Gémeaux; these are the oldest vines in the Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards). Wood and menthol notes add breadth to the ripe but cool nose that combines wisps of red cherry with those of earth, tea and humus. There is terrific punch, intensely and detail to the overtly mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mid-palate that contrasts markedly with the powerful, serious, concentrated and austere finale. Here too plenty of patience will be required before this will be completely ready for prime time. Apr 2016, www.burghound.com, Drink: 2029+

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru from Louis Jadot (Domaine Gagey) has a very subtle and refined bouquet with pure red berry fruit, minerals, rose petals and orange blossom—one of the most entrancing aromatics of the vintage. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly tart entry, driven along by the acidity but with sufficient fruit tucked in just below. It fans out gloriously on the finish and leaves you wanting more. Quite simply, this is one of the finest wines from this grand cru vineyard. Tasted September 2017. Oct 2017, www.robertparker.com
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.
