The 2022 Ladoix Clos d’Orge has a clean, quite crisp nose of mainly yellow fruit with a touch of orange blossom. The palate is well-balanced with a fine thread of acidity. It is not a complex Ladoix, but I admire the tension and a sense of refinement on the finish. Well-crafted
The 2022 Beaune Grèves le Clos Blanc 1er Cru follows up its impressive showing last year. There’s wonderful purity on the nose with yellow plum, meringue and wisps of candy floss, yet underneath, you can feel the terroir expression that willcome through with time. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine silver bead of acidity. One of the most tensile and energetic of Jadot’s whites, with Conference pear and gooseberry popping up on the finish. This will be fascinating to watch age in bottle.
Well structured and moderately tannic, this medium-bodied wine has a nice grip on the palate as fine-grained tannins surround tart cherries, raspberries and light oak spices for a vivid, lively expression and the ability to age well. Drink now or hold.
The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes 1er Cru is a little backward on the nose: raspberry, blackberry, orange rind and light sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Lovely caressing mouthfeel here, well-judged acidity and a very harmonious finish. Often one of Jadot’s strongest cards, this is a worthy follow-up to the impressive 2021.
