Wine Reviews

The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has an attractive nose of orchard fruit, hints of honeysuckle, beeswax and an underlying mineralité that will require time to come through. The palate is fresh and crisp thanks to a silver bead of acidity. It’s vibrant with a pretty, peachy finish that maintains tension and frisson. The 2023 is worth seeking out.

The 2023 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru has a clean, delineated nose with lemon verbena, Granny Smith and light oyster shell scents. The palate is well balanced with a keen thread of acidity. There is a patina of wood here, but it is proportionate to the fruit. Cohesive and long on the finish, this might be Jadot’s best cuvée of 2023.

The 2023 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru has a fresh and delineated bouquet that displays well-integrated oak. The palate is balanced with a tangy opening of candied orange peel mixed with lime, though the finish feels a little predictable and needs to muster more complexity. Give this three years in bottle.

Perfumed aromas of red cherries, rose petals, blood oranges, fresh flowers, blueberry bush and spices. The palate is silken and polished with fine-grained tannins that have no hard edges. The balance of power, finesse and precision is incredible. The ultimate drinking pleasure. Can be enjoyed now or for decades to come.

Perfumed, fruit-driven aromas of fresh raspberries, blood oranges and citrus peel with fresh flowers and cherry blossoms. The palate is textural and grippy yet refined and polished, leading to a robust, rounded mouthfeel with savory mineral undertones. Really vibrant and energetic with a balance of liveliness and power. Very good.
