Tasting notes
(raised in Jadot's barrels, one of three new): Deep red with ruby tones. Musky dark berries, roast coffee and medicinal menthol on the nose. Hugely rich and powerful but rather reduced today, showing a distinctly salty character. Quite muscular and backward today, a bit dominated by its tannic spine. I wanted more pliancy and sweetness of fruit; perhaps the wine's last months of élevage will bring out these characteristics. Hard to judge right now.

The 2014 Chambertin Grand Cru has a lot of finesse and composure on the nose and to be honest, it shows the 2014 Mazis-Chambertin how it's done -- very focused and complex with great tension and energy. The palate is very well balanced with fine, supple tannin. It is beautifully focused, very natural and effortless with a lingering, minerally finish that goes on and on. This is predictably one of the standouts from Jadot this year.

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.
