Tasting notes
The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Les Boucherottes (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of blackberries, dark chocolate, candied peel and currant leaf. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but incisive, with a lavish, gourmand core of fruit that's controlled by tangy acids and fine-grained structuring tannins, concluding with a precise, mouthwatering finish. This is a lovely Beaune that will offer a broad drinking window.

Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Dark-red fruit and a subtle fruit sweetness on the nose. Tannins and acidity slightly overwhelm the fruit here so it is a bit dry and tart on the finish. Eye-watering more than mouth-watering. (JH)
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.
