2018 Chambertin
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru has a harmonious, powerful bouquet of layers of red berry fruit laced with crushed stone and pressed rose petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Hints of wild mint and star anise infuse the finish, which fans out gloriously. This is a step ahead of the Clos-de-Bèze this year.

Purchased as wine, the 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) is more overtly marked by new oak than the domaine's Clos de Bèze that preceded it, revealing vanillin-inflected aromas of ripe red fruits and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a ripe and charming profile.
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.
