Wine Reviews

Crisp, refreshing, and linear, this has a beautiful gooseberry and quince fruit character with hints of a flinty minerality. It is perhaps less rich than the white from Beaune Grèves. There is a nice tension on the palate, but with time there is a rich, almost fat impression as the wine opens up. From a one-hectare parcel that Jadot owns at the same elevation as Meursault Perrières.

The 2017 Meursault Village (Maison Louis Jadot) is showing very nicely from bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of fresh pear, crisp yellow apple, blanched almonds and pastry cream. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive.

Silky and creamy with lovely, pure fruit and soft, toasty vanilla oak. Juicy and balanced with notes of almond and pear, it captures the way Chardonnay should taste.

Ripe, full-fruited aromas and flavors include brioche and hazelnut. A medium body and supple texture carry into a persistent finish.

Balanced and creamy, this white will please many. Peach, apple, honey and spice flavors abound and the smooth texture carries them well. Finishes with a fresh, lemon- and spice-tinged aftertaste.
