Louis Jadot - Gevrey-Chambertin 2019 (1.5L)

Add to Wish List

Gevrey Chambertin is the most northern of the great communes of the Côte de Nuits. There are 26 Premiers Crus and 8 Grands Crus. Jadot Gevrey Chambertin wines are produced from vineyards lying on the extension of the slope on which the Grands and Premiers Crus are situated. These vineyards vary considerable in quality, and the name of the producer is thus more important here than elsewhere. Maison Louis Jadot vinifies the production of growers with whom it holds purchase agreements based on the quality of the harvest each year. Destemmed grapes ferment in vats during 3 to 4 weeks. Aging takes place in oak barrels produced by our cooperage Cadus during 18 months. AGING POTENTIAL 10 years and more, even 15/20 years.

Louis Jadot Description

Founded in 1859, by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, he was the first of his family to arrive in Beaune from Belgium in 1794 and soon began purchasing Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. With grape growing a part of his heritage, Louis Henry set about gaining experience first in the cellars, in the evaluation of wines, and then in the vineyards, in the study of viticulture. The house of Louis Jadot has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and currently owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots. In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses.

Wine Spectator: 92 Points

A lush, supple red, evoking black cherry, blackberry, violet, iron and spice flavors. A dense matrix of tannins lends structure, yet this also has a graceful component. Fresh, graphite-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2024.

Burghound: 88-91 Points

Wine Advocate

"The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village (Maison Louis Jadot) exhibits notes of sweet raspberries, plums and cherries mingled with loamy soil and espresso roast. Medium-bodied, lively and youthfully chewy, it concludes with a saline finish." 01/21
