Tasting notes
The 2014 Santenay Clos de Malte has a pleasant, fleshy, crushed strawberry-scented bouquet with a hint of vanilla, demonstrating more fruité at the moment compared to the 2014 Clos des Gatsulard. The palate is brittle and chalky on the entry, but there is some pleasant, pert, tart cherry fruit underneath. It might lack a little length, but there is some freshness and tension here.

Lightish cherry red, and sour cherry on the palate too. Smells fresh and just very slightly stalky, the tannins and acidity together making it a little severe at the moment, lean in the middle, but I think it will improve and gain better balance. (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.
