Domaine Louis Jadot, Chapelle Chambertin other_regions(from En Gmeaux; these are the oldest vines in the Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards). Moderately strong wood and menthol elements frame the aromas of essence of red cherry, forest floor, rose petal, sauvage and newly turned earth hints. The rich, intense and mineral inflected broad shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint, all wrapped in a balanced, austere and incredibly persistent finish. The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety

but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated

earthy finish

(50% whole clusters)

disgorged January

though it maintains fine delineation and offers great length

Full-bodied

silky tannins provide the backdrop as the 2001 opens up in the glass

With a decanter filled with crème de cassis

This is one wine where I have encountered better bottles

This monumental offering

There is ample structure here as well though it’s largely buffered by all of the mid-palate extract and I particularly like the depth
