#90 Wine Spectator Top Wines of 2023

Intense and tightly wound, this red is firmly structures and energetic, featuring cherry, strawberry, stone and spice flavors, with the acidity and tannins lending support for future evolution. All the components are there, this just needs a few years to knit together.

Power and grace go together in this decadently perfumed, cherry-soaked wine. Profoundly ripe and framed by fine-grained, rigid tannins, the structured, weighty wine is lifted by luminous raspberry and red-cherry flavors.

The 2018 is, like Jadot’s other 2018 Côte de Beaune bottlings, wonderfully fresh and lively, balancing its iron-tinged fleshiness. Its suave texture is deceiving because it imparts a sense of precociousness.

This is actually quite aromatically similar to the Corton-Grèves though with a bit more elegance. The elegance continues onto the sleekly muscular middle weight flavors that also exude evident minerality on the moderately austere finale that offers both very fine depth and length.
