Tasting notes
The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru initially seems a bit acetic on the nose, although it does improve with 15 minutes in the glass, revealing scents of Bing cherry and raspberry, a little confit in style. The palate is sharp and (again) a little acetic, delivering modest depth and a velvety finish. This does cohere and gain more fruit intensity with aeration and ends up being quite sensual. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru offers captivating briar and subtle marine influences on the nose, one of the most nuanced from Jadot this year. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and silky-smooth texture, offering raspberry, wild strawberry, white pepper and touches of sage toward the finish. I suspect this will gain more complexity with bottle age because there is already impressive persistency considering the vintage.
Impressive, bright aromas of red cherries, blueberries and violets. This has a complex and confident feel. Thereâs good structure and depth on the palate with a wealth of smooth, succulent tannins, carrying fresh, ripe and even flavors. More than 100-year-old vines. Try from 2022.
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.
