Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Domaine Louis Jadot 2017

Wineadvocate

One of the finest wines in the Jadot portfolio, the 2017 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, menthol, dark chocolate, blood orange and grilled meats. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with superb depth and dimension, succulent acids and notable concentration, its tannins entirely cloaked in fruit. While this is a comparatively supple, giving rendition of this cuvée, it will nevertheless demand patience.

Vinous

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a step up from the Bienvenues this year, with a more noticeable marine influence, touches of oyster shell and sea spray developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity – what you might describe as a nimble Bâtard-Montrachet – and a taut, linear but quite persistent finish. Excellent. (DIAM GC closure)

Morris

90-year-old vines up top plus plots of 40 and 25 year old vines. Slightly paler colour than the Chapelle but in fact a greater elegance to the fruit. This flows in silky fashion right across the palate, there are no disruptive tannins, just enough acidity and a sensual suave and very long finish. Tasted: November 2018
