Note di degustazione
Jadot's opaque, black-colored Chambertin Clos de Beze reveals super-ripe cherries and prunes intertwined with roasted notes of coffee, herbs and stones. This wine's immense, full-bodied personality is packed with massive, thick, viscous, highly-extracted and concentrated black fruits. Unapproachable, this behemoth will be at its peak between 2005-2015. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy in Washington, D.C. in April. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Overall, 1995 is another in a string of successful vintages for Jadot. If there is one negociant house consumers can feel comfortable buying blindly, vintage to vintage, it is Jadot. Importer: Kobrand Corp., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300

Red-ruby color. Knockout nose combines rose petal, raspberry, mulberry, iodine, cardamom, tobacco and iris. Great sweetness on the palate; offers as much volume as the mouth can hold. Builds and builds. Really exhilarating delineation and depth of flavor. Tannins are substantial but ripe. A superb example of this great grand cru.
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.
