Note di degustazione
This Premier Cru comes from two domaine-owned plots, purchased in 2017, totalling 1.2 hectares, in Charmes-Dessous. The 2023 has an enticing nose of white blossom and honey, with juicy peach and an earthy, savoury character behind it. There’s a lovely softness to the palate texture, building to a long finish, with citrus tones and a mineral character.

Tension, power, minerals and generous fruit on the nose with great balance and freshness. The palate has the classic Charmes richness, supported by energetic acidity and a textural, rounded mouthfeel. This shows the class of the vineyard. Enjoy now or leave for some years in the cellar—you will be rewarded either way. Drink or hold.
The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes (Domaine Louis Jadot) is a solid effort, revealing aromas of pear, white flowers and toasted nuts, framed by a deft touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and fresh, it exhibits good cut and persistence. 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.

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.
