Note di degustazione
In stark contrast to the '93 Chambertin| this is wonderfully expressive and complex with abundant earth and spice notes followed by big| structured| still sappy if slightly austere flavors that offer excellent density and plenty of character. Impressively scaled and finishes with striking length. A clear step up from the Chambertin.

The Chambertin Clos de Beze reveals more depth and richness than the soft Chambertin, although it, too, is plagued by excruciatingly painful tannin levels. The color and fruit are present, but the wine is closed, hard, and seemingly ungracious. It needs 6-7 years of cellaring and should keep for 20 years. The question is, will it ever fully blossom and provide joy, pleasure, and sweetness of fruit? Jadot produced a high percentage of successful wines in 1993. There are also disappointments, particularly in the lower appellations which have turned out tough and tannic. There is no Jadot house style, save for rich, well-delineated, structured wines that stand the test of time. As a vintage, 1993 is less consistently excellent than 1990 or 1989. In 1988, all the grand crus were bottled without filtration. That vintage was followed in 1990 and subsequent vintages, with all the premier and grand crus bottled without fining or filtration.

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.
