| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by NoTrollingerPlease on 10/2/2020 & rated 92 points: Relaxed Wine evening with great Pizza (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald
Tasted blind. Clear, medium amber color. We should have decanted the wine. At first some oxidized notes in the nose that went away with some time.
I would still consider this wine a bit past peak, but with air it showed a glimpse of what a GC could be. Lacks a bit of depth and tension of a real great Montrachet, but still a very good experience. Drink up soon. 91-92 (1453 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 10/26/2016 & rated 92 points: Second bottle of my case of 6. It was initially fat and one dimensional. It took the wine 2 hours to open up. Firing on all cylinders with pineapple, salty minerals, and ripe yellow fruit. Very good weight and punch on the palate. Still ridiculously young. At least 10-15 years left. (3300 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/24/2016 & rated 92 points: Rich and mature baked apple, floral notes and sweet spice. Powerful and intensely concentrated' almost unctuous. Opened and expanded over the first 15-30 minutes in glass, then started shortening after in glass an hour+. Very good now, an excellent 1997 white. (3642 views) | | | Tasted by d'Auvenay on 3/6/2016 & rated 92 points: Opened in 3+ hrs and lasted for 3+ hrs. Another great Jadot Demoiselles. Will last for another 5 yrs and may be 10 yrs. (3318 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 11/17/2015 & rated 93 points: Slow oxed for 3 hours. Nose had abundant ripe yellow fruit, cake, caramel and lemon oil. The palate had weight and intensity. An elegant wine with the power and finesse. The yellow fruit on the palate was lovely. It has the acidity to age for at least 5-7 more years. (3836 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 2/7/2013 & rated 89 points: disappointing, color and nose didn't suggest premox but this was flat, no bright acid that this wine can deliver, and palate was some minerals and oak but fruit largely missing... off bottle or just a bad vintage... i suspect the later (2904 views) | | | Tasted by Goldstone on 12/25/2012 & rated 92 points: The crime with this wine would be to pop and pour it in a hurry with other wines. Bright, yellow gold colour. Nose is initially reticent for the first few hours: deep-toned notes of aged oak, crystallized lemon, apricot, fresh dates, creme brulee.... quite complex. Then develops a honeyed elegance that remains understated in its elegance but increasingly assertive. Palate is sharp bright acidic attack followed by apricot stones, peach stones and a finish of the inside of a banana skin then fresh mandarin oranges with the pith left on. Good long-lingering very honeyed but light aftertaste but short on resonance in the head at first. Overall, a bit dilute for what you'd expect in a Chevalier Montrachet. But....WOW......after 2-8 hours in the decanter it had blossomed into a beautiful honeyed elegance and finesse of textbook Chevalier Montrachet.
It went incredibly well drank sippingly before, with and after a beautiful Christmas Day small, French farm-raised organic Turkey and all the traditional trimmings......Happy Christmas! (2591 views) | | | Tasted by dicehk on 3/28/2012 & rated 90 points: The Jadot Chevalier Montrachet « Les Demoiselles » was still youthful showing plenty of aroma, with scents of butter, cream and oak spice from the winemaking dominating. Good palate with a richly creamy texture, lots of extract, and good length. Should develop well. (2866 views) | | | Tasted by Goldstone on 1/21/2012 & rated 92 points: Chú Xī (除夕) Dinner at Home on Chinese New Year Eve (Our Place, Hong Kong): Apricot-gold colour...very deep gold. Deep, bass-toned nose: ripe but sharp apricots and apricot stone, an almost botrytis-like element. Palate is deep rich honeyed but taut apricot and a good acidic frame and burnished bronze tautness followed by a big slowly evolving resonance with a the same metallic zing. Almonds....definitely an almondy metallic zing comes out with time in the glass Very heady and gains enormously in weight and presence as it warms up towards cool room temperature. Very enjoyable but not as multi-dimensional as I'd have expected. (3291 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy 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
