Wine Reviews

This rich red cuts a broad and silky swath on the palate, delivering plum, cherry, iron, spice and tobacco flavors. Its tannins are dense but well-integrated, while the finish extends nicely.

Notes of plums, dark berries, orange zest, spices and beetroot introduce the 2024 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a medium- to full-bodied, supple and suave wine that’s attractively polished and complete, concluding with good length on the finish.

The 2024 Beaune Clos des Ursules 1er Cru has a delightful, well-defined and quite complex bouquet with a little more florality and mineralité than the Boucherottes or Cras. Very focused. The palate is very well balanced with just the right amount of acidity. A mixture of red and black fruit laced with white pepper and desiccated orange peel, it feels assured on the finish. A worthy follow-up to the excellent 2023.

There’s a lovely depth of fruit here with lifted, perfumed aromas of cherries, rose petals, blood oranges, hibiscus and terra-cotta. The medium-bodied palate has a silky, rounded mouthfeel, supported by fine-grained tannins. A great balance between freshness and power, offering immediate drinking pleasure and good aging potential.
