Tasting notes
Palish medium red. Red cherry, red berries, rose petal and a hint of dusty spices on the aromatic nose. Supple in the middle palate, with a slightly medicinal cherry liqueur flavor energized by a hint of cranberry. Finishes firmly tannic but not dry, with good breadth and persistence, an impression of delicacy and a restrained sweetness. Nicely done.

The 2015 Monthélie 1er Cru Champs Fulliot has a lovely, quite beguiling bouquet just like the Sous Roches village cru: ample red cherries, crushed strawberry with a touch of mineralité coming through with aeration (cold limestone). The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, lively with slightly darker fruit than the Monthélie Sous Roches, endowed with fine structure and vigor on the silky smooth finish. This is worth checking out and sure to be good value.

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.
