Beaune 1er Cru Les Theurons ETA Q1 2019  |
$69.99 |
5 |
|
| |
WS 92 (5/2008): A rich, open-knit red. There's ample acidity and tannins supporting the cherry and spice flavors and this should come around soon. Very appealing. Best from 2011 through 2022. 180 cases imported.
BH 89-91 (4/2007): A slightly more elegant nose that reveals subtle oak influence to the pure and ripe red pinot fruit with slightly more structured and muscular flavors that are serious and exude dry extract on the detailed and precise finish. This is a bit one-dimensional today but it could surprise to the upside as there is so much material here. Drink 2015+.
WA 89-91 (6/2007): Jadot’s 2005 Beaune Theurons exhibits pure black cherry with sage and smoky bacon on the nose. Loaded with sap and juicy fruit character in the mouth, it juxtaposes tart freshness with creamy texture. Sage, resin, black cherry and a hint of maple syrup mark a savory finish that displays fascinating salty-sweet and fruit-smoked meat oscillation. This vigorous and tightly-concentrated wine should reward at least 5-7 years of cellaring. (The name of this site is usually spelled without an “h".) |

Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru |
$195 |

|
| |
| BH 93-95 (4/2013): There is also enough oak influence to notice though not enough to materially detract from the high-toned and overtly spicy red currant, cherry and plum suffused nose. There is a lovely minerality to the supple, forward and refined middle weight plus flavors that possess a wonderfully refined mouth feel before culminating in a long, powerful, concentrated and palate drenching finish. While not truly a wine of finesse in the same sense as a fine Chambolle or Volnay, this is relatively subtle as the supporting tannins have the same fine grain as the best of these 2011s. Drink 2023+. Don't miss! |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses |
$375 |
1 |
|
| |
| VM 92-95 (3/2007): Good full red-ruby. Captivating aromas of raspberry, spices and crushed stone. Silky on entry, then pungent and vibrant in the middle palate, with superb life and floral perfume to the raspberry and blackberry fruit (despite the fact that the actual acidity level is not high). This boasts a wonderfully refined texture and finishes with terrific breadth and solid tannic structure. A wine of great breed, and destined for a long life in bottle. There are just two barrels of this juice. Stephen Tanzer. |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses |
$359 |
1 |
|

VM 94+ (4/2012): Good bright red. Quintessentially perfumed, high-pitched Amoureuses nose: raspberry, flowers, minerals and spices. Powerful and chewy in the style of the year but with great delicacy too: all flowers and raspberry in the mouth. Superbly concentrated. Tightens up on the firmly tannic back end, finishing with palate-staining length and vibrant crushed-stone minerality. One of a number of Jadot 2009s that utterly transcend the vintage.
BH 92-94 (5/2011): Compared to the Baudes and Fuées, this is clearly riper with a more deeply pitched and while more complex, the noticeably riper nose is perhaps a touch less elegant. There is fine richness and depth to the wonderfully intense, detailed and mineral-dominated medium weight flavors that possess a dusty and mouth coating finish that delivers impressive length. This is a seriously complex and stylish effort and though quite restrained at present, it's not hard to see the excellent development potential. Lovely and about the only nit is a touch of backend warmth. Drink 2021+. Outstanding!
WA 90-93 (5/2011): The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses shows the darker side of this site. This is another beautifully delineated wine with gorgeous depth and tons of texture in the fruit. The wine acquires more femininity in the glass, yet this remains a fairly substantial, textured Amoureuses. The finish is striking in its harmony and completeness. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses |
$395 |
2 |
|
| |
| BH 92-95 (4/2012): A perfumed and highly spiced nose of red and blue pinot fruit that is liberally sprinkled with notes of cassis, spice, stone and a touch of wood toast. The rich, cool and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess a seductively suave palate impression before terminating in a superbly complex, balanced and persistent finish. 2010 seems to have been an especially successful vintage for Amoureuses and this is one more corroborating effort that should improve for 15 to 20 years. Drink 2025+. Outstanding! |

Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru (1.5 L) |
$299 |
4 |
|
| |
| BH 93 (4/2013): ( from En Gémeaux; these are the oldest vines of the entire Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards.) This was quite reduced at first and required more than an hour of aeration to finally reveal fresh, cool and mineral-inflected red berry fruit, earth, game, humus and forest floor aromas. There is superb intensity to the almost aggressively stone and beautifully well-delineated large-scaled flavors that possess an extremely firm, mouth coating and driving finish. There is a real sense of underlying tension with an overt austerity to the very serious and stunningly long finish. The En Gémeaux character of pungent minerality is about as front and center as I have ever seen it. I repeat that this is at present one very, very austere wine and there is absolutely zero reason to open a bottle young. However, if you choose to commit wine infanticide of such an egregious nature, give it 4 to 6 hours in a decanter. I believe based on how the wine evolved over several days that it will in time be genuinely excellent as the underlying material is certainly present but this is most definitely a "bury in the back of the cellar and forget you own it" Chapelle. Drink 2030+. |

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru ETA Fall 2018 |
$299 |

|

BH 92-94 (4/2017): Notes of wood and menthol combine with those of red currant, dark raspberry and plenty of earth and game scents. The velvety yet quite powerful big-bodied flavors also brim with sappy dry extract that pushes the otherwise notably firm tannic spine to the background on the built-to-age, balanced and wonderfully persistent finale. Drink 2032+.
WA 92-94 (12/2016): The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a voluminous and extravagant bouquet with blooms of red berry fruit, although I found myself more drawn to the complex and intellectual Clos Saint-Denis. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. This is a masculine, assertive Clos de la Roche, quite saline in the mouth with a feisty, spicy finish. This is a fine grand cru from Louis Jadot, though not one of their top releases this vintage.
VM 90-92 (1/2017): (a blend of purchased wine from two sources): Good full red. Aromas of cherry, herbs and oak show a youthfully medicinal quality. Powerful but a touch dry; this strikes me a bit energetically extracted at the expense of the vintage's potential silkiness. The medicinal menthol quality is complicated by notes of brown spices and earth, but the wine's primary fruit is very much in the background today. Finishes dry and imploded, with strong tannins. Not my favorite style of Clos de la Roche. Jadot has eight barrels of this wine, four made via a classic vinification, according to Barnier, and four using more modern, extractive techniques. Stephen Tanzer. |

Corton Pougets Grand Cru |
$99 |

|
| |
| BH 91 (4/2009): Even after the bottling the nose remains highly expressive with notes of freshly crushed berries, in particular cranberry, earth and a touch of spice that merges into intense and mineral-infused medium-bodied flavors that turn reticent and austere on the impressively long finish. Just as it was from barrel, this is beautifully balanced but it remains on the grumpy side and is going to need a long cellar snooze before it will play nicely with others. In sum, this is a Corton that makes no concessions to the "early accessibility" mantra so many present day wines adhere to - patience required. Drink 2018+. |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques ETA 90-120 Days (6x750ML) |
$1,026.99 |
5 |
|
| |
WS 93 (4/2016): Intense and powerful, with plum, black cherry and spice flavors flowing before giving way to dense tannins. Finishes with tobacco and mineral elements. All the components are there, but this needs time to integrate. Best from 2018 through 2027. 200 cases imported.
WA 92-94 (12/2014): The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques has a very refined, you could almost say "mild-mannered" bouquet compared to the other Gevrey premier cru, with more mineral notes and more floral scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sturdy and assertive entry: bold but ripe, supple tannin knitted with well-judged acidity that dovetail into a very focused finish. This is not as immediate as I believe the other Gevrey premier cru will be and will deserve several years in bottle.
BH 91-94 (4/2015): Here there is a bit more wood with the associated traces of menthol that surround the elegant floral and like the Estournelles, airy essence of red berry fruit liqueur and spice suffused aromas. There is a sophisticated mouth feel to the appealingly textured, intense and focused middle weight flavors that also display plenty of minerality that serves to add lift to the structured, serious and strikingly long finish. This is indisputably terrific though interestingly it doesn't seem to have quite as much separation between it and the other Gevrey 1ers in the range as I typically find chez Jadot. Still, this should be a really lovely effort though note well that this is a CSJ for the patient. Drink 2027+. Sweet Spot Outstanding!
VM 90-93 (1/2015): (this fruit was harvested on October 10, following heavy rain on the 9th): Medium red. Lovely rose petal perfume dominates the nose. Juicy and pure but tight and youthfully unforgiving; showing less fat and volume than the Estournelles. Unless this is simply painfully backward, it's hard to imagine this wine ever delivering the satisfaction of the Estournelles. Stephen. Tanzer. |

|

BH 93-95 (4/2017): Firm reduction flattens the nose though there is a lovely sense of both freshness and tension to the colossally constituted flavors that drench the palate with sap that once again renders the notably firm tannic spine all but invisible for the moment on the impressively persistent if slightly warm finish. I suspect that in time the structure will become more apparent but this is one concentrated, indeed massive GE, that isn't elegant but does avoid rusticity. Drink 2033+. Don't miss!
VM 91-93 (1/2017): (not Jadot's vinification; done with a portion of whole clusters): Bright, full red. Dark berry aromas are dominated in the early going by a strong note of licorice pastille. Black fruit flavors show a juicy quality but are very tightly wound and medicinal, even a bit muscular for a young Grands-Echézeaux. I find the tannins a bit tough and dry. Rough going today, and not showing the normal elegance of this grand cru. Stephen Tanzer. |

Le Musigny Grand Cru |
$399 |

|

| BH 93-95 (4/2013): (from 90+ year old vines in a parcel measuring .32 ha.) Background notes of wood are discernible but stop short of being invasive as they still allow the restrained, cool and pure dark berry fruit and black cherry aromas to shine. Interestingly this is less overtly spicy as the Amoureuses at present though there is a genuinely gorgeous inner mouth perfume to the suave, round and polished middle weight plus flavors that possess plenty of underlying muscle and power on the hugely long, balanced and impressively complex finish. While clearly firmly structured, this is somewhat more forward and approachable than is typical for this wine. Drink 2023+. Don't miss! |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Beaux Monts ETA Fall 2018 |
$175 |
6 |
|
| |
WA 92-94 (12/2016): The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts was shaded by the Les Suchots in this occasion, more foursquare and less terroir-driven at the moment, though developing attractive woodland and sous-bois aromas with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe black cherry and boysenberry fruit, a fine bead of acidity and commendable precision on the finish. This has potential, but it may need more bottle age than the Les Suchots.
VM 90-92 (1/2017): Bright medium red, moderately saturated like the Suchots. More complex on the nose than the Suchots, with dark berry, redcurrant and espresso aromas complemented by a suggestion of graphite minerality. Also sweeter, plusher and more chocolatey than the Suchots, conveying a more pliant texture and little of the Suchot's slightly raw character. In fact, this wine boasts a rather creamy, almost liqueur-like quality without coming across as overly sweet. Finishes with nicely ripe tannins and very good length. Stephen Tanzer.
BH 90-93 (4/2017): Like the Chaumes this is sufficiently reduced today to render the nose hard to assess. Otherwise the mouth feel is also quite seductive but in this case with somewhat more minerality in evidence on the plush and sophisticated flavors and lingering finish. This is not as mineral-driven as usual but it's awfully pretty. Drink 2027+. Outstanding! |
