Tasting notes
Here is an ideal introduction to the red wines of the 2019 vintage in Burgundy. Very charming nose of cherries that leads into the ripe and round palate. But this is also structured, thanks to the moderately dry tannins, which provide backbone and also, together with the acidity, freshness. Drink or hold.

Bursting with aromas of cherries, red berries and spices, Jadot's 2019 Santenay Clos de Malte (Domaine Louis Jadot) is medium-bodied, bright and lively, with a pretty core of fruit and chalky grip on the finish.
The 2019 Santenay "Clos de Malte" has a clean, pure bouquet featuring morello cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, dark berries and a touch of spice on the slightly soft finish. Drink over the next 6–8 years.
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.
