Jadot Louis

1997 Jadot Louis Gevrey-Chambertin

Medium ruby red, no hint of maturity. The nose shows toasty oak and is quite sweet. The palate also shows sweetness, good acidity and very nice depth to the fruit. Still quite marked by the wood though. This wine is much more primary than many and needs at least 3 or 4 years in the cellar despite its village appellation. Very good.

Deep colour. Nose is black cherry with soil and fallen leaves. The palate has prominent furry tannins and very good acidity. The fruit is incredibly intense black cherry, in fact almost sour cherries. Very long too, though still very young. This wine is more structured and primary than most 2000’s and I wouldn’t touch another for 4-5 years. Excellent potential.

1998 Jadot Louis Savigny-lès-Beaune

Medium ruby red, no maturity. The nose shows raspberry and cherry. In the mouth there’s good concentrated fruit which bursts across the palate at first taste, coupled with medium tannins and refreshing acidity. Very primary, but it can easily be enjoyed for its youth now. Nice wine.

Good deep cherry colour with hints of purple. Nose starts very closed, though a hint flowery. Develops to give nicely defined red berry fruit with a darker undertow of prune. The palate is fat with very well covered acidity and tannin. Though only medium length, this wine is really opulent. It doesn’t want to come out to play just now, but given time it should be fabulous. Wait at least 3 years to re-taste.

1997 Jadot Louis Beaune Les Grèves

By on December 31, 2002 #asides

Still cherry colour, tending to ruby at the rim. Nose is ‘full-on’ red and black cherry with top notes of raspberry. The palate is very dry, good concentrated cherry fruit and excellent acidity for the vintage. Tannin is still there if you look. Still young, but ‘forgiving’ – wait another 5 years if you can for an excellent Beaune.
