Tasting notes
The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots (Maison Louis Jadot) was showing very well indeed, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, wild berries, exotic spices and sapid bass notes of coffee roast and grilled game. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent, its broad-shouldered but fine-grained chassis of tannin nicely cloaked in generous fruit, its finish pure and long.

Cask sample. Acidity notable on the nose. Very sweet start and then lots of tannin and maybe a slight lack of freshness of fruit. Just slightly heavy. And a bit chunky at the moment. (JR)

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.
