The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, plum, mineral, forest floor and oak. It tastes like blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, prune, plum, strawberry jam, forest floor, mushroom, vanilla and oak. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. (176 views) | | | Tasted by rogervanzant357 on 1/29/2024 & rated 89 points: Nice Pinot. Will be buying more. (238 views) | | | Tasted by seeyouintee on 7/21/2023 & rated 84 points: Pours clear purple-garnet. Slight sulfuric smell blows off pretty quickly. Cherry, mushroom, and a bit of spice. Same on the palate. Medium minus body, medium acidity, medium tannin. (893 views) | | | Tasted by Denny the Drinker on 6/19/2023 & rated 69 points: This wine shows as medium purple. The nose is subtle... Slight scents of dark cherry and stewed/burnt black current.
On the palate, the black cherry and current come through with a little black raspberry. Medium body and acidity, and overly heavy tannins. This is a pinot noir, right? But it grips like a cab sav. Finish is short.
I am disappointed in Louis Jadot for this wine, as the tannins overshadow the flavors, as well as the richness in body make this a much different wine then a pinot noir. (920 views) | | | Tasted by nbgen12 on 4/8/2023 & rated 85 points: Very fruity, almost has a bit of a berry-like fruit punch flavor. Bit of acidity. Overall pretty good for the price point. May be good in the summer with fruitiness. (1260 views) | | | Tasted by snamnoum@gmail.com on 3/26/2023 & rated 85 points: Holy sulfur Batman. Super reductive in a not awesome way. Aromas dominated but bitter herbs (almost fernet-ish), black licorice, lead pencil, graphite, grape soda, black cherry, leather, and touch of cedar.
Medium acid, medium tannin. Not terrible but definitely not their best showing for the entry level Bourgogne. (1252 views) | | | Tasted by Madam Butterfly on 1/21/2023 & rated 86 points: Good, but needs years to develop. Too cherry. (1374 views) | | | Tasted by rjdscott on 12/21/2022 & rated 86 points: Medium ruby in color. Pronounced cherry and fruit punch aromas with moderate spice and subtle sweet tobacco and chocolatey notes at the back. The wine feels medium- in the body with a nice tannin structure. The acid is a little high, making it slightly unbalanced. Maybe decanting for 30 mins might help. $20/bottle seems to be reasonable value. (1178 views) | | | Tasted by Watty05 on 12/16/2022 & rated 85 points: Very fruity (red fruits, cherry) with some acidity. Very drinkable. Great for the price. (1088 views) | | | Tasted by JayStark65 on 11/10/2022 & rated 92 points: Enjoyed this very much. Had a distinctive finish. (904 views) | | | Tasted by TXScott on 11/5/2022 & rated 85 points: Pale to medium ruby in color. Cherries dominate the nose with mild tobacco to back it up. Tobacco is stronger on the palate but still the red fruit dominates, tart cherry. Acidity comes through somewhat harsh, and overwhelms the mid-palate. The finish leaves something to be desired, but there is a nice hint of baking spice. The tannins feel well structured but the acid does take away from this somewhat. (975 views) | | | Tasted by cshouston on 11/4/2022 & rated 88 points: Aromas of red fruit, a touch of earth, and a whiff of cigar wrapper. A little bit light on the palate, predominantly red fruit flavors, nicely balanced acid, and a touch of grippy tannin. A simple, pleasant wine at a fair price. (874 views) | | | Tasted by Abludwig on 10/27/2022: New to wine. Not bad. Smokey? Cherry cola? Little pointy. Still enjoyed it. (658 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 9/20/2022: Tart and dark cherry. Somewhat discombobulated but I dont think anyone would actually notice.85% from.thier vineyards and then 15% sourced. (969 views) | | | Tasted by EdsonS on 9/14/2022 & rated 85 points: Nose smells like black currant, cedar. It’s a bit thin and light but very very easy to drink. Licorice, oak, cherry, red plum. Really nice, had it with a Swiss and mushroom burger. (747 views) | | | Tasted by mankam on 8/14/2022 & rated 85 points: Not bad for the price and everyday drinking. (572 views) | | | Tasted by Glenn Gilbert on 7/28/2022 & rated 88 points: 13% alcohol; imported by Kobrand Corporation, Purchase, New York; cork aroma of mown grass clippings after they have yellowed a bit on the lawn, composite cork, 2 mm maximum wine penetration, light-weight foil; medium to long legs, intense burgundy red; opened, vinturied, and tasted at room temperature (26 degrees C) 15 minutes later; nose of currants & raisins, carrots, turnips; medium body, interesting balance of sour, sweet, and fruitiness, with a light mineral background; medium finish with dry tannins asserting themselves, and at the very end a touch of honeysuckle nectar; pair with cold-water oily fish like salmon or Chilean sea bass, or with hors d'oeuvres/dessert cheeses or nut assortment prepared with sea salt (831 views) | | | Tasted by LiteItOnFire on 5/2/2022 & rated 86 points: Seventh wine of the flight and the first red. While I am more of a red wine drinker, the white flight was simply fantastic top to bottom. Coming off the white Corton Charlemagne, perhaps this was not fair (nor would it be for the next one however the reds caught up for sure). A bit too thin for my 'everyday' wine but my everyday wine might not be a fair comparison. (1752 views) | | | Tasted by Limestonelow on 3/5/2022: Excellent easy drinking pinot (718 views) |

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)

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
