Note di degustazione
(from vines on the Chassagne side of this grand cru): Aromas of stone and citrus fruits, clove and violet. Sweet, fat and superconcentrated, with an almost syrupy quality to its stone fruit and spice flavors. Thick, solid, tactile wine, from a crop level of just 20 hectoliters per hectare. Best today on the very long, inexorable finish but this is more about texture than flavor in the early going.

The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru has a much more nuanced bouquet than the Chevalier Montrachet, brilliantly defined but more conservative in some ways. It gently unfurls in the glass with touches of citrus peel, flint and melted wax, although I found the Chevalier more engaging at the moment. The palate is supremely well balanced with perfect acidity, just a hint of honey floating in the background, but perhaps missing a little complexity and detail on the finish compared to both the Chevalier and the Bâtard. This is very fine, but it is not the grand cru that I would choose from Louis Jadot...at least not this year.

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.
