Maison Louis Jadot

An opportunity to have a look at a few of the (many) wines from Louis Jadot with the brand ambassador.

surprisingly ripe for a village Chablis...

• 2017 Louis Jadot Chablis

  France, Burgundy, Chablis

  Peach over lemon, cream, clean, a little honeyed and honeysuckle, surprisingly ripe on the nose for a generic village Chablis. Bone dry, some fine, tannic burr, on the mid palate, peaches and lemons, a little chalky minerality and a little warmth on the finish, tangy, pleasant.

The two 2016's were too young for me but showed promise. I kind of enjoyed the Le Clos Blanc

• 2016 Louis Jadot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

  Butter, cream, plenty of polished oak, sweet spices in the mouth it's spiced, rich, tightly wound and quite closed. With time it picks up some fleshiness but this is for me needing time. Note with time a beautiful jubey peach and lemon sherbet joins the oak and spice. This fruit travels to the palate. Very good.

• 2016 Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru

  Medium minus aromas of oak and citrus, apple, mineral but fruit subsumed by oak on the nose. Juicy, a little sharp, again tight with some tannic grip on the front and mid palate finishes quite mineral and saline. Hmm. With time a little oatmeal on the nose and a little more fruit on the palate though the acid is still very sharp.

• 2015 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Le Clos Blanc Domaine Gagey

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  Savoury and leesy, toasted hazelnuts, butter, peach, lemon and lime, cedar. On the palate it's soft, rich and quite generous, travels long and finishes a little warm and slightly pear skin bitter. The fruits riper with a little lime peel and there is some smoky minerality.

That 2013 was pretty handy for me, just a sense of freshness. I wasn't so enamoured with the 2014's.

• 2013 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Theurons Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  Pretty perfumed raspberry and strawberry, very tiny woody and herbaceous notes and some savoury spice. Beautiful, delicate, fresh, cracking acid line with that red fruit. Some front of mouth burr this is lovely. Ethereal

• 2014 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Theurons Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  Slightly more ripe red berry fruit, more jammy, sweet spice, a little liquorice and cedar as well. Tighter, riper and, perhaps, more closed than the 2013. Tightly tannins as well that ripe fruits is rather lost but surfaces with a pepper note on the long finish but time for me.

• 2014 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  Savoury, more powerful red tending to black fruits more spaced a little more cedar, smells 'bigger' than the Theurons. And so it proves on the palate, dense, fruit competes with tight, grippy, drying tannins. Time but plenty of potential.

That Clos St Denis started off fairly badly and just got better and better and better.

• 2014 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

  Earthy, savoury red and black cherry, clay, wet, spicy, cream, young. More of the same on the palate with plentiful tannic grip that dries things out. Juicy acidity. Young.

• 2010 Louis Jadot Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnières

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru

  Meaty, savoury, a little Bovril and yeast extract, gamey a tiny touch of wet cellar with agitation some dense black fruits; plums and cherries. Savoury juicy, a little cream, plummy and spicy on the palate, still plenty of tannic burr here. The whole travels medium plus length. Nice.

• 2007 Louis Jadot Clos St. Denis

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos St. Denis Grand Cru

  Medium minus savoury meaty, yeast extract and a touch of farmyard over slightly volatility, wood glue but, with time in the glass, it starts to show some lovely red and black fruits with a little jubey cherry, cream, sweet spice. On the palate it's juicy with a lovely gently cherry fruit here but quite savoury, tannins on the id palate but all travels long. Very nice.

Yeah, the Burgundy curse strikes again i.e. it's really nice but it's really expensive…Back to the auction houses!
