Gevrey-Chambertin 2018
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin wines are produced from vineyards lying on the extension of the slope on which the Grands and Premiers Crus are situated. The fruit is sourced from growers with whom Louis Jadot holds purchase agreements based on the quality of the harvest each year. The grapes are handpicked and sorted, then undergo fermentation. After a long maceration, a proportion of the wine is set to age in French oak barrels. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
Harvest Note
This was a very warm and dry vintage with a few violent storms. Production volumes were reduced, however quality within the red wines is very high.
Tasting Note
This is an elegant and powerful red wine with classic big cherry fruit coupled with truffle and brown spice notes over a long and complex finish.

About the Grape
Pinot Noir
In France, makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes. In California, shows ripe, sweet characters.
