Note di degustazione
La Romanée is one of the great Premier Cru sites of Chassagne-Montrachet. The limestone rich soils with little topsoil tend to exaggerate the mineral intensity synonymous with this site. While its distinct southerly sunny exposition and rocky soil, rich in fossils, gives the wine great power and richness. Bright and crisp. Rich, quite ripe, powerful nose, showing excellent intensity, rounded lemon peel, hints of nuts, some smoke. Hint of reduction. Fantastic concentration – there is a big mouthfeel and lots of extract present. This level of richness needs lots of acidity to remain fresh, which again this wine has in abundance, something we’ve begun to associate with Chassagne La Romanee over the last 4-5 years, we’ve been following closely. Very harmonious and will age nicely in a cool cellar. Lively and citric at the moment, but a creamy, nutty finish hints at what we’re likely to see evolving over future years. Classic in many ways, but with lots of energy – another brilliant effort from this special 1er Cru.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru reveals hints of fennel and wild mint trying to surface through a fog of reduction. The palate shows more clarity, offering finely tuned, quite nutty citrus fruit. There is good depth and harmony here, although I find a little more complexity and persistence on the en Cailleret at the moment. Still, this feels nicely assured, and it should drink well for the next 12 to 15 years. (DIAM GC closure)
Introducing the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée (Maison Louis Jadot) are notes of fresh melon, pear and peach mingling with nuances of drawn butter and white flowers in an incipiently complex bouquet. This is a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny-textured wine that's vibrant, nicely concentrated and quite dramatic in style. There are just two barrels, but the wine will be worth seeking out.

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.
