Note di degustazione
This domaine bottling was a touch reduced at first, but gradually offers aromas of ripe plum and bramble fruit, as well as a savoury, toasty note. The palate is soft-textured but bright, with a crescendo of fruit. As the fruit peaks, the chalky tannins grip the tongue, before a hit of saline freshness washes over the finish.

One of the comparative sleepers of the range is the 2023 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), from vines planted in the 1920s that used to belong to Domaine Clair Daü. Offering up aromas of raspberries, rose petals, bergamot and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and suave, with a perfumed core of fruit, succulent acids and a long, saline finish. Winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team have once again delivered a strong portfolio chez Jadot. Barnier stressed the importance of sorting and of vigilance during élevage, in particular where acid rot made an appearance, and he didn't hesitate to perform a saignée for cuvées where yields where high. As I've written before, in the cellar, foudres and 500-liter barrels now complement classic 228-liter pièces, a further evolution adapting to warmer, riper vintages. What's more, barrels are now used four rather than three times, meaning the percentage of new oak overall has fallen. A cold room also helps chill down any fruit that's too warm when it enters the winery, something especially important during the warm 2023 harvest. This vintage also marks the third vintage of organic conversion for the Domaine Louis Jadot and the Domaine Gagey.

Shallow pebbly soil. Cask sample. Finely fragrant, floral, charming for a grand cru. Both dark-red and even some dark fruit. Light spice notes. Elegant, scented on the palate. Extremely fine tannins and real sophistication here. But the price is crazy even if it is par for the course in Burgundy. Approachable in relative youth, I think, but still embryonic.

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.
