Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2018 750ml

The village of Vougeot is in the centre of the Côte de Nuits, anked on the north by Chambolle Musigny and on the south by Flagey Echezeaux and Vosne Romanée. The 50 ha vineyard faces the east. The geological composition ranges from chalky stoney clay, on the higher parts of the slope, to moist, compact soil richer in humus and with fewer stones on the lower slopes. This legendary wine has great power, depth and a fragrant, floral bouquet. Serve with roasted or sauced red meat, pheasant, venison or other large game and medium-strength cheeses such as Camembert.

Revisited from bottle, Jadot's 2018 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of cherries, cassis and wild berries mingled with nuances of cinnamon, raw coca, dark chocolate and orange rind. Full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, it's deep and layered, with a seductively velvety attack, terrific concentration and a long, expansive finish. Beautifully balanced, it's bright and lively despite its broad shoulders. This has turned out especially well.
