(1505 views) | | | Tasted by admwrlk on 12/25/2016 & rated 75 points: Thin, acidic, a little sour. It did improve a little with time, and was ok with food. (2988 views) | | | Tasted by mjgkng on 3/2/2014 & rated 88 points: Drank well--maybe it's come of age. (6004 views) | | | Tasted by Martnmac on 3/22/2013 & rated 76 points: Seemed weak. Almost watery. Not what we had previously experienced. (7754 views) | | | Tasted by Ron&nina on 1/25/2013: Sour, highly acidic, doesn't really show that well for the region. Very single demensional although it does have lots of berry notes. Nose is better than the taste. (8020 views) | | | Tasted by yayfemales on 1/16/2013 & rated 80 points: this is an inexpensive wine that's enjoyable if allowed to breathe for at least 15 minutes before drinking. you're not going to impress anybody with it, but it's fine for those situations where you don't ask your wine to impress anybody. i sometimes like to drink a bottle of wine while i watch a movie alone at home, for example, and - again, provided it's allowed sufficient time to breathe - this is fine for that. likewise relaxed dinners or other relaxing times with my girlfriend when we want wine and neither of us is feeling too picky about the specifics. just don't forget to let it breathe, because if you do (forget, i mean), you'll probably find nothing to recommend this wine at all. did i mention that it needs to breathe? (7242 views) | | | Tasted by sipnwine on 6/14/2012: I wouldn't purchase this one again. (7717 views) | | | Tasted by Night Thief on 3/26/2012 & rated 86 points: Good acidity. Decent food wine. But not much else going on here. No major faults but overall, not very impressed. (5357 views) | | | Tasted by Jdgourmet on 3/24/2012 & rated 86 points: light, some spice, cherry fruit on the palate; very pleasant entry level burgundy (3969 views) | | | Tasted by strad on 1/18/2012 & rated 90 points: just simply delightful. (4175 views) | | | Tasted by mikelorel on 1/1/2012 & rated 75 points: Not a very good Pinot Noir. Poor finish. The Beaujolais was better. Don't buy this one again. (4492 views) | | | Tasted by jwalker1140 on 12/11/2011 & rated 75 points: Shame on Costco for stocking this garbage. It's stuff like this that gives less expensive French wine such a bad rap in the US. (4205 views) | | | Tasted by routtatout on 12/3/2011 & rated 83 points: Nice nose but a little flat and spare. Only a hint of burgundy signature. Better on day two. (4212 views) | | | Tasted by strad on 12/2/2011 & rated 88 points: A pretty little tart, offering up cheap sex in a bottle. I like it, and the 12.5% alc. looks to be correct.
Not made for the long haul but just the same this offers up the 2008 Burgundy bounty quite nicely.
If you've never had Burgundy and you're thinking of trying one, this is a great out of the gate experience
and widely available. (4222 views) | | | Tasted by Cattleya9 on 9/28/2011 & rated 90 points: Smells delicious and sweet. Dry but smooth. Subtle taste, the only comparison I can think of is honey and milk. Very pleasing to drink, even if you do not drink wine regularly, you would enjoy this. (4921 views) | | | Tasted by Domfrenette on 9/10/2011 & rated 85 points: Aucune surprise ici. Vin de soif dans un condo sur le bord de la plage; très générique mais fait le travail. (4808 views) | | | Tasted by BalthazarVonBratwurst on 8/27/2011 & rated 85 points: Mediocre with no big flaws. Round and a bit woody, but also some berries. Worth 10 euros. (4802 views) | | | Tasted by ctjared on 8/27/2011: Light fruity, cherry nose. Refreshing, but not terribly complex. Pleasantly surprised. (4786 views) | | | Tasted by missionpk on 8/1/2011 & rated 83 points: Not worth $20. Still, not a bad wine. Very old-world old-school. Thin, dry, and woody. For 3e out of a carafe in an out-of-the-way cafe, this would hit the spot. (5145 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 5/22/2011 & rated 81 points: This wine was opened and serially tasted over the ensuing two hours (without decanting). Light ruby robe. Moderately intense nose of cherries, coriander and dust. Light-bodied on the palate, with medium-to-high acidity, light tannins and cherry-dominated flavors. The middle palate thins a bit and the medium-length back end becomes quite tart. This is simple, serviceable Pinot at a very low price. Don't expect great things in this price range and you will not be disappointed. Drink now-12/13. (5432 views) | | | Tasted by intrij on 4/18/2011: 5 of 10
cloudy, high acidity. Red Fruit, cranberries
go to a tasting at Jadot if in France - great architecture to see and take a tour. (1264 views) | | | Tasted by whits on 2/20/2011 & rated 85 points: some light red fruit aromas, light on the palate, earthy, cranberry, cherry and mineral, upfront acid profile, nice, non-commited red to start the night off with appetizers (5821 views) | | | Tasted by jbeauprez on 1/18/2011 & rated 82 points: Perfectly adequate, light bistro/house wine. (6008 views) | | | Tasted by brigcampbell on 12/24/2010 & rated 72 points: Poured half the bottle down the drain even the drunks were not interested in this swill. (6083 views) | | | Tasted by cdimaro on 12/11/2010 & rated 74 points: Not worth drinking. (6115 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

The House of Louis Jadot has been producing exceptional Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. For the past 150 years Louis Jadot has continued as one of the great names of Burgundy and has gained international reputation for its superb red and white Burgundy wines. Louis Jadot is not only one of the largest producers of estate Burgundies of the Cote d'Or, it is one of the most celebrated exporters of premium Burgundies, owning close to 140 acres of vineyards from 24 of the most prestigious sites in Burgundy.Pinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
