This wine is structured, with some firm tannins and great concentration. Plenty of aging potential comes from the tannins and the richness of the acidity. (RV)

The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is the high point of Jadot's Beaune portfolio, offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of raspberries, plums, candied peel, licorice, grilled meats and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with an ample core of fruit that's structured around a youthfully firm chassis of chalky tannin, concluding with a long finish. This should age very gracefully. (WK)

Clos des Ursules is a walled vineyard that sits within the Vignes Franches premier cru on the southern side of Beaune, and it has been part of the Jadot estate since 1826. It's very much a limestone-based style with plenty of acidity and minerality, joined by sappy, floral redcurrant, red cherry and pomegranate flavours, all framed by oak. (TA)
