My first annual 'Jadotfest' and hopefully the first of many. Simple format - bring a wine made by Jadot, but their breadth is such that you get a wonderful suite of wines. For some reason I only have a handful in my cellar, perhaps the perception of "big business" and the negotiant element has put me off, but frankly more fool me as the wines are wonderful.

Many thanks to our sadly absent host Richard who was not well enough to make it, absolutely gutting but in his own words, or maybe somebody else's, the show must go on. What I took away from this is that Jadot is *very* good in Beaune, and can be spectacular elsewhere, and that the wines are immensely age-worthy. Huge thanks to my fellow diners for their amazing vinous generousity and company, and to Mathieu and the team at Noizé for their cooking and impeccable hospitality. I cannot wait until next year.

Very lithe, quite forward and fruity. Fine mousse, definitely on the low end of the dosage scale, this was crisp and delicious and a great way to start the evening. Good value even off a list. Punches above its weight. 2018 base.
