Wine Reviews

An elegant style, boasting peach, apple and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Silky and fresh, this white is also harmonious and builds to the long, complex aftertaste. Offers a lasting impression of vanilla and brioche.

Another wine exhibiting an attractive touch of youthful reduction is the 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grande Montagne (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium-bodied, satiny and fine-boned wine redolent of peaches, white flowers and crisp orchard fruit.

Rich and buttery on the nose, with layers of yeast, vanilla, and oak spice. The palate is refined, showing bright acidity, white peach, and Bosc pear, balanced by salinity, buttery brioche, and a stony finish. Textured, rich, and delicately layered—perfect with poached seafood like butter-poached shrimp, lobster, or caviar over angel hair pasta.

The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Grande Montagne 1er Cru has the most energetic, tensile bouquet of the four Chassagne-Montrachets from Jadot, with crushed rock percolating through the citrus fruit, classy and sophisticated. The palate is well balanced, harmonious, very poised and it builds to a seductive praline-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a great Chassagne from Jadot bound to give a lot of pleasure.
