Tasting Notes

A deft touch of wood sets off brooding and deeply pitched aromas of cooler dark currant, violet and a hint of humus. There is excellent power and concentration to the sleek, intense and stony flavors that evidence obvious muscle that really comes up on the palate coating, austere and mineral-suffused finish. This robust effort is even slightly firmer and plenty of patience is recommended.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (78), April 2020

Purchased as wine, the 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) is more overtly marked by new oak than the domaine's Clos de Bèze that preceded it, revealing vanillin-inflected aromas of ripe red fruits and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a ripe and charming profile.
