Loads of coconut on the nose on opening so maybe new oak. Sweet and big with loads of baby fat. This came across as just too over the top for me. It did settle down with air but I'm not sure it has the acidity it needs for the long haul. We'll see.

This is just a dynamite White Burg. Dense, concentrated, brimming with extract. Yet plenty bright and vibrant. Pulsating with energy. Young but zero shame in opening one now. Wish I had loaded up.

Transparent yellow color. Bit restrained on the nose initially, with matchstick most prominent and perhaps some apples beneath that. Medium body, medium-to-medium-plus acid. Rich and creamy on the palate, with vanilla, white cherry, honeysuckle, and baked apples. The acid keeps everything in balance. Excellent.

This is very rich but very good. Feels more full bodied than I was expecting for the vintage but has awesome grip and acidity. Would probably let these rest for a few years as they are under Diam.
Grand Cru length and power for sure

Under DIAM GC...extra long cork(getting pointers from pycm!)...WOW...this has a richness of a GC...totally bright and oily, creamy, sappy orchard fruit, with a nice tropical flare as well...palate coating...yet there is a beam of lemon/tangerine citrus and crushed rocks cutting the richness up nicely...like adding some salt and lemon squeeze to a butter wine sauce...the feel of this wine is SO caressing and full bodied, yet there is a bright effortlessness to it...sweetness tamed by chalky limestone salinity...little match strike reduction...sneaky dry extract and spice on the long long tasty finish. In such perfect balance right now...but seems to have it all for a long life ahead! A must case buy...drink one now for sure...and hold some for 20+! Makes me giddy to try more post pox problem Jadot's!

Brilliant showing. This is dense and ripe, with razor-sharp minerals. Loads of dry extract and brimming with energy. This is big and intense for sure, and the presence is pretty grand, but there's not a hair out of place. Jadot has quietly been killing it with its whites lately, and I suspect this would slay some giants in a blind tasting.

Lemon/lime citrus nose. Plenty of stone. Initially lean but fattens up with a couple hours air. Modern Jadot palate. Golden apple, creamy texture. Long and pretty. A touch of brown sugar sweetness. Reemerging minerality on the backend, Good buy.

Quarantine; 3/12/2020-5/29/2020 (Chicago, IL): Bottled under Diam GC. Brilliant nose with just a minute hint of reduction and then a judicious helping of toasty oak. A touch sweeter than I would expect on the nose from a 2017. On the palate, this is impeccably balanced, with a tinge of green giving the acidity here a real raciness, followed by a breadth that comes from a somewhat riper sensation of fruit, and a generous, but not overdone, use of oak. Compared to the 2018 which I tasted at the estate just two months ago, I may well have to give the nod to the 2018 (despite 2017 being such a brilliant chardonnay year). For my taste, there's more balance with the oak on the 2018 with the fleshier fruit profile. Don't get me wrong though -- this is no slouch and I'd be amply happy to have this in my cellar. Perhaps it's also a question of time where this has lost the exuberance of youth and is starting to go into its shell...

Louis Jadot Cellar Visit and Tasting (Day 11, Visit 4) (Beaune): Barrel tasting at Jadot. From the very top portion of the Perrieres slope. Deep and intense with an array of orchard fruit. Rich and complex while already nuanced and well textured. Good now, while clearly cellarworthy. 92-93 point potential.

Amazing night one. So good and so much going on. Fruit with acidity to match
On night 3 seemed a little riper in a way I’m not sure I understand. Better night one when it had that zip
