Annual Jadot Dinner - this time with Thibault Gagey (Sepia - Chicago): A sensational bottle of this wine and captures all the upside of the vintage with none of the troublesome downside. Gorgeous, intense nose of an array of orchard fruits with chalk, mineral and light honey layers. Palate has towering proportion and pin point grace of a classic Montrachet. Long finish. Bravo.

Put this with a label from a more “heralded” producer and people would be falling over themselves telling you how it’s one of the greatest wines they have had. Alas, Jadot will never quite have that status.
The colour is golden, but the nose and palate are absolutely fine. Served blind and decanted for 3 hours in advance, which helped it open according to the server. Make no mistake, this is a huge wine, meal in itself. Full bodied, I suspect there was some new oak here but it’s well integrated, and a long finish. Quite a lush wine with medium acidity and definitely not a lean year (I called 02/05). A persistent finish and a wine that got nicer closer to room temperature. Just delightful. From BV

Louis Jadot (& Clair-Daü) Dinner with Frédéric Barnier (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Blind in vertical. Sometimes this wine has been brilliant, sometimes not. Tonight's bottle was dark and advanced to start with an oxidative aromatic start. Flavors were fresher, brighter, and more interesting, but nowhere close to the wonderful 2005 and 2009 vintages in the next glass. And while this seemed to get slightly better with more air, it never lived up to the standard of previous great bottles.

Jadot (and Clair Dau) Chapelle-Chambertin Dinner with Thibault Gagey (Sepia - Chicago IL): A brilliant bottle. Wide array of fruits and spice in perfectly harmonious combination. A handsome gent in a tuxedo.

Annual Jadot (plus Dau) with Frederic Barnier (RPM Steak): 05/06/09 Double Blind. Golden color and showing advanced, though not totally over-the-hill. More interesting on the palate than the nose. Clear 3 of 3 in the flight.
