Tasting Notes and Scores
Jadot’s 0.4 hectares of this prized site lies near the top of the slope and densely planted (10,000 vines/ha). The 2018 came in at 14 percent alcohol, reflecting a rare level of ripeness, but nonetheless, displays marvelous acidity, which keeps the wine full of energy. Long and precise, this is a brilliantly balanced wine that shows why the site is so revered. Though packed with flavour, it is light on the palate, which is my definition of Burgundy - flavour without weight. Drinking Window: 2026 - 2036.

Glorious imperial purple colour, with a majestic nose alongside but not over opulent. The fruit smells as if it has been picked at perfect ripeness. There is considerable weighty on the second half of the palate, a bit of orange zest in the red fruit mix, tannins just present – certainly present, but more or less covered by the fruit. Very persistent. Fine wine. 14% or even a touch more but balanced.

A very spicy and ripe though cool nose reluctantly offers up notes of red cherry, violet, sandalwood, herbal tea and a whisper of smoked meat. The relatively refined and nicely vibrant medium weight plus flavors are solidly concentrated in the context of what is typical for the 2018 vintage while displaying fine energy on the balanced and beautifully persistent if somewhat grippy finale where the only nit of consequence is a touch of warmth. This mouth coating and markedly structured effort should age and improve for several decades. Drink: 2035+.

The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a highly perfumed, incense- and lavender-infused bouquet that retains admirable delineation, one that you would think comes from a cooler growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and ripe, revealing dark chocolate and cedar notes toward the finish and mint on the aftertaste. Perhaps the finish does not quite match the alluring bouquet, but it should mature nicely over the next couple of decades. Drinking Window 2024 - 2048.
