Note di degustazione
Medium bright red. Initially reticent nose showed raspberry, bitter cherry, red licorice, flowers and minerals with extended aeration. Broad, ripe and sweet but unforthcoming and much less expressive today than the Estournelles. Strong material here but a bit youthfully disorganized, with an edge of acidity. But the sweet tannins and long finish suggest that this will round into form with five or six years of aging.

Good medium red. Deep, soil-inflected aromas of black cherry, chocolate and earth. Suave and fine-grained, with a subdued sweetness. Still a bit stunted after the racking, but this appears to be the broadest and longest of these Gevrey premier crus in 2004. Tannins are firm but fine.
Cask sample Smudgy nose – some violets. Acidity well covered by ripe fruit. Quite winning already! Big and bold and jewel bright. (JR)
A pretty mix of elegant, pure and bright red pinot and raspberry fruit aromas nuanced by floral, crushed green leaf and earth notes leads to notably fine, supple and quite sweet flavors that are complex and classy but finish with the barest hint of dryness. This is usually head and shoulders above the rest of the Jadot Gevrey 1ers but in 2004, this is not the case. In short, this is perfectly good but not at its usual level.

Informazioni sul produttore
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.
