2015 CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY 1ER CRU FEUSSELOTTES DOMAINE LOUIS JADOT - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, January 2017

  This excellent premier cru has a deep rich soil of predominantly clay and chalk that produce a very generous style of Chambolle, with great charm and appeal. It was certainly one of the stars in the flight of wines we tasted at the cellars in Beaune. Shining purple in colour, it has hints of dark chocolate and freshly picked strawberries on a hot summer’s day. The clay soils produce a sense of power on the palate entry, which evolves into freshness and a warming sweetness of red fruits and loganberries on the mid-palate. It is a wine full of life and energy; eminently rewarding.

  Score: 91-93

  The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes has a winsome bouquet with copious red cherries, cranberry and bergamot scents that unfurl in the glass. There is a fine marine-like, seaweed scent that evolves. The palate is fresh on the entry with good grip. This is a solid and dense Chambolle-Musigny, nicely structured with broody dark berry fruit laced with black tea and spice towards the finish. It will require 4-5 years in bottle before it really enters its stride. Drink 2020-2035

Producer

Maison Louis Jadot

Founded in 1859 by Louis Jadot, Maison Louis Jadot has always been situated in the centre of Beaune in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards. Managed by three generations of the Jadot family and then by the Gagey family assisted by Jacques Lardière in the cellar, Jadot is now directed by Pierre Henry Gagey, who has introduced a new wine making team, Frédéric Barnier and Guillaume Large. Since careful ageing in wooden barrels is so very important for the balance, aromas and the ageing potential of a great wine, in 1996, Louis Jadot entered into partnership with a firm of coopers, forming Cadus Cooperage, established in Ladoix Serrigny. This allows them to control their wood sourcing and the barrel production. Maison Louis Jadot now controls 105 hectares in Burgundy with more than 70 hectares in the Côte d'Or, exclusively in Premier and Grand Cru. They produce both negociant wines under the Maison Louis Jadot label and a number of Domaines: Gagey, Duc de Magenta, Louis Jadot and Héritiers de Louis Jadot.
