Tasting Notes
One of the more reserved wines in the range on the day of my visit was the 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant wine evocative of red berries, pomegranate, sweet spices and rose petals. Deep and tightly wound, it will reward further élevage and bottle age, as the raw materials are of obviously high quality.

Dense purple, some energy, not quite come together yet. This has broad shoulders, the structure I expect of Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin, from ancient vines still in great health. Excellent acidity, this keeps on kicking on with wonderful nuances and a very long finish. Tasted: November 2021
The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet with beautifully-defined brambly red fruit, undergrowth and minerals, an oyster shell scent becoming more intense with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, lightly spiced with a harmonious and cohesive finish that has real body and depth. Outstanding.
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.
