Tasting notes
Full red with a slight haze. Musky, leesy aromas of dark cherry, graphite, licorice and herbs. Very rich but youthfully monolithic; boasts plenty of power but shows less precision and lift than the Chapelle. Today the wine's tannins shut down the finish. This fruit got a cold maceration and was vinified with a portion of its stems, noted Frédéric Barnier; Jadot takes possession of the barrels in December.

The 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru has a sense of length and breadth on the nose: delve in to find red and yellow plum, wild strawberry, heather, forest floor and sage aromas that are well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, moderate weight in the mouth, but it is more a sense of focus and symmetry that really lifts this Chambertin. Fresh and vibrant with the mineral component becoming accentuated towards the linear finish, this is a Chambertin that will require several years in bottle.

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
