Friday, June 30, 2023 - An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): [Tasted Single Blind] In a flight next to the 07 Trapet Chambertin. This pours light ruby in the glass, with faint bricking. Just a lovely nose off the bat if a tad closed relative to the other wine in the flight. The nose is of rose petal, animal fur, grapefruit zest, charcoal, peanut shells, iron, cherry, and nascent ginger. The palate is lovely entering on the sweet fruit of the nose, with lovely cherry flesh on the mid palate, turning to medium tannin, and medium plus acid. The finish lingers very impressively long on the lovely cherry notes augmented by touches of rose petals. This bottle was my contribution and I was a bit worried it would pale in comparison in this flight, but it held up rather well. In fact the group flip flopped a few times on which of the two wines might be Village, 1er, or Grand Cru. This wine was more deep and dense which had some thinking it Could be a Grand Cru. I knew the CSJ is a gem in the Jadot portfolio, but still didn't expect it would show quite this well. Several tasters said it was the best Jadot red they've ever had.
