Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 42 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by munktun on 8/1/2023 & rated 89 points: n: gently increasing intensity- violets, fresh ripe black cherry, drop of dr pepper
p: bold, high acid, cherry not at the forefront unlike the nose. The smoothish tannins and ripe finish show that this is decent quality fruit for a burgogne level mass production (797 views)
 Tasted by TheSagePalate on 7/7/2023 & rated 89 points: Color is deep but vibrant ruby. The wine is dry, acid is high, tannins are low, soft but present. The wines salinity is medium. Alcohol is medium. Body is medium. Finish is medium.

On the nose, slightly unripe and tart red fruits. I get tart cherries, tart raspberries, blackberries and bramble.

On the palate the wine is crisp but smooth with a soft tannic finish. I get tart cherries and raspberries, french oak, and candied strawberries.

Subjective thoughts: The wine's acidity was off putting for the first glass, but It grew on me as I drank more.

This wines shows not in similar to the Louis Jadot Gamay and I think it is similar enough that you're better off going for that instead. It's cheaper and very good. (832 views)
 Tasted by bordeauxman777 on 11/13/2022 & rated 86 points: 2019 is pretty thin compared to theater years. It does carry the typical bouquet and flavors comparable to the previous vintages, but the 2019 feels diluted. sadly, not so lovely :( (1944 views)
 Tasted by SeattleKen on 11/2/2022: Picked up at the local grocer for $27. Deep color. On decanting, there is a noticeable sweet almond perfume. Closer to the rim, it's plums, red fruit, and stems. On the palate. this doesn't taste at all Burgundy and could easily be a very good California pinot. While it loses its sense of place, it's also more approachable than a young burgundy. (1881 views)
 Tasted by Richard123 on 10/12/2022 & rated 90 points: Classic profile, solid QPR. (2065 views)
 Tasted by slubgob on 7/27/2022: Drank in Maine with kinda Mexican spice grilled pork loin. Cranberry color. Nose of cherry (slightly cough syrup variety?), plum. strone fruit generally. In the mouth light body of... uh... non-descript stone fruit? Not quite ripe plum, grape? Not bad, just not distinct or complex. Some tannins on the side of the tongue if you really hold it in your mouth. Finishes fairly fast, doesn't leave much of a lingering impression. Nothing objectionable, nor nothing memorable. (1962 views)
 Tasted by Sspalding91 on 6/29/2022 & rated 87 points: Strawberry, raspberry, musky, light body, pronounced acidity, light tannins, average finish (1855 views)
 Tasted by LiteItOnFire on 6/8/2022 & rated 87 points: Three course tasting, no notes only super quick impressions due to work event.

First
2020 Louis Jadot Chardonnay Bourgogne Blanc
2019 Louis Jadot Pinot Noir Bourgogne- nice easy drinking regional Pinot. Wouldn’t run out to buy it but also wouldn’t refuse a glass either. Good for what it is and honestly above expectations more likely to do with the benefit of an excellent vintage. Net net looking to buy a bottle of burg at this price point and it’s in ‘19- it over delivers. Not sure this would be the case for colder/wetter vintages.

Second
2019 Louis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Blanc Domaine Gagey
2017 Louis Jadot Morgon Château des Jacques

Third
2019 Louis Jadot Chassagne-Montrachet
2019 Louis Jadot Santenay Clos de Malte (2248 views)
 Tasted by Rhuby on 5/27/2022 & rated 87 points: Did a blind side by side with the Poppy. This is a light red-purple and transparent. Lightly perfumed fruit and floral nose with the slightest oak that dissipated on days 2-3. A delicate and more traditional Pinot. (1310 views)
 Tasted by Appname on 4/30/2022 & rated 89 points: From Matt and Sara (1396 views)
 Tasted by ivanuk on 3/16/2022 & rated 90 points: An excellent finely balanced French Pinot Noir. A lighter red pairs well with pork and fowl. Not bad with cheese too, especially mature cheddar (1455 views)
 Tasted by drakegrad2003 on 3/11/2022 & rated 89 points: Fruit roll up on the news (eerily similar), lots of fruit but just a touch to much sour/tart cherry for me. Otherwise light and refreshing and very solid for the price point. (1252 views)
 Tasted by Discobiscuits42 on 2/22/2022 & rated 86 points: Garnet color, m- acidity. Not much of a nose.. some ash present. Palate, lime and orange, smoky and vanilla. Well balanced. Not remarkable... would be good with food. (1369 views)
 Tasted by Zinny von Del on 1/30/2022 & rated 85 points: Light color, ruby with a bit of orange on the edge
Earthy smell early on, almost port-like- later in glass opened up and a bit more fruity
very mild flavor, low tannins, smooth, clean (1373 views)
 Tasted by Acove on 1/21/2022 & rated 85 points: Pnp. Medium-light ruby color. On the nose, gentle red cherry that takes a backseat to oak and forest floor aromas. On the palate, sour cherry upfront and medium-high acidity. Some earthy notes as well. Medium-light body with a rather short finish. Aftertaste gives me some green characteristic. Overall an easy drinking burgundy but does not impress and won't gain much with aging. Drink now-2024. (1049 views)
 Tasted by JCherniak on 1/21/2022 & rated 92 points: Medium ruby colour. Juicy herbs and raspberry, followed by a bit of pepper. Quite nice. A lengthy finish with some musty lingering notes. (1101 views)
 Tasted by Rossodio on 1/21/2022 & rated 87 points: Inexpensive and checks the boxes for a basic Bourgogne Rouge.

I had 1 sip; drunk over 2 nights.

 Tasted by ChateauShiny on 1/14/2022 & rated 89 points: Medium dark purple-ruby. Nose is earthy, barnyard, mineral filled, and a slight hint of smoke. Medium light bodied, dry, medium-high acid. Cranberries, and pomegranates round out the primary palate. Medium chewy tannins bring in black and oolong tea notes. Long tannic dry finish with minerals, tea, and a hint of espresso. (982 views)
 Tasted by always0925 on 1/13/2022: good (864 views)
 Tasted by Stu MacDuncan on 12/3/2021 & rated 88 points: Nice, simple, reliable Bourgogne rouge from Jadot. May not "wow" you, but will not disappoint you either. (986 views)
 Tasted by laucap on 11/21/2021 & rated 88 points: Good after lots of air (better on second night). Raspberries and darker fruits, floral and mineral character. (1153 views)
 Tasted by prccap on 11/14/2021 & rated 86 points: Extra acid for a Pinot. Uncharacteristic black fruit flavors. Aroma is a bit muted (1242 views)
 Tasted by Rossodio on 11/10/2021 & rated 88 points: Half consumed by me and the bottle gone in a night. Solid, innocuous old world table wine Burgundy from one of the two largest producers in the region. At around 20 dollars a bottle, reasonable value. (1224 views)
 Tasted by Matteo1 on 11/6/2021: Great year that brought nice acid and fresh red fruit. Some soil and stemmy notes but with a refreshing nature. Not very concentrated or nuanced but I like it at $20. One to drink within the next 4 years (1172 views)
 Tasted by Rbhan12 on 10/30/2021 & rated 88 points: PnP into Zalto Burgundy, followed for a few hours.

This wine opened up significantly with air. Nose was initially a bit oaky with darker red fruits, but has since turned more mineral, stone-like, with tart raspberries. The palate is light body, lots of slight under-ripe strawberries, a touch overly acidic and astringent. Maybe even a touch green. The finish is very long, but mostly acid, underripe strawberries but properly-ripe raspberries, maybe a touch of unsweetened cranberry, and some wet stones.

Overall, it's a "good" wine when you consider this is Burgundy and it's about $20. I do think this is lacking balance and is overly acidic without the ripeness of fruit or tannic backbone to support it. Maybe it would be better in a year or two at most, but who is cellaring $20 Bourgogne? (1168 views)

Louis Jadot

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)

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.

Burgundy

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
