Rich and classy yet dense and muscular, revealing black cherry, blackberry, earth, stony mineral and spice flavors. This is guided by vibrant acidity, and the tannins are refined and well-integrated. On the reserved side today, yet with length and presence. Best from 2030 through 2050.

One of the comparative sleepers of the range is the 2023 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), from vines planted in the 1920s that used to belong to Domaine Clair Daü. Offering up aromas of raspberries, rose petals, bergamot and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and suave, with a perfumed core of fruit, succulent acids and a long, saline finish. Winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team have once again delivered a strong portfolio chez Jadot. Barnier stressed the importance of sorting and of vigilance during élevage, in particular where acid rot made an appearance, and he didn't hesitate to perform a saignée for cuvées where yields were high. As I've written before, in the cellar, foudres and 500-liter barrels now complement classic 228-liter pièces, a further evolution adapting to warmer, riper vintages. What's more, barrels are now used four rather than three times, meaning the percentage of new oak overall has fallen. A cold room also helps chill down any fruit that's too warm when it enters the winery, something especially important during the warm 2023 harvest. This vintage also marks the third vintage of organic conversion for the Domaine Louis Jadot and the Domaine Gagey.(WK)

Note: from En Gémeaux; these are the oldest vines in the Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards. A perfumed, airy and beautifully layered nose freely reveals aromas of plum, spice, red and dark currant and more moderate oak influence. The gorgeously textured medium weight flavors possess even better size and weight while delivering fine length on the impressively persistent finish that also displays a touch of bitter pit fruit character. Excellent potential here.
