Tasting notes
The 2017 Beaune Clos des Couchereaux 1er Cru shows just a touch of reduction on the nose, though underneath lies pleasant red and black fruit plus a touch of iodine in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and nicely balanced, if not the most complex of the Beaunes from Jadot. It feels long in the mouth, but I would just like more terroir to show through here.

The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Couchereaux (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) reveals a generous bouquet of smoky blackberries and plum, complemented by savory bass notes of loamy soil and espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, quite ample and succulent with a plush, giving profile. It can't match the finesse or completeness of the Cras, but it's very true to the hearty, gourmand style of the site.
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.
