Tasting notes
The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a strong menthol note on the nose, with aniseed coming through, which detracts from its terroir expression and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, more opulent than its peers, exotic and "sunny" with a spicy Piedmont-kissed finish. It is enjoyable if dictated by the vintage. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

One of the more reserved wines in the range on the day of my visit was the 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant wine evocative of red berries, pomegranate, sweet spices and rose petals. Deep and tightly wound, it will reward further élevage and bottle age, as the raw materials are of obviously high quality.
The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet with beautifully-defined brambly red fruit, undergrowth and minerals, an oyster shell scent becoming more intense with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, lightly spiced with a harmonious and cohesive finish that has real body and depth. Outstanding.
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.
