Louis Jadot is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2009. All wines are Appellation Controlee wines from across Burgundy. The vineyards total 525 acres from the Cote d'Or to Maconnais and into Beaujolais, 80% of which are premiers and grands crus.
Jadot's portfolio includes more than 150 bottlings vinified under the direction of Jacques Lardière who has been at Jadot since 1970. Lardiere directs the farming of Jadot's estate vineyards as well as those of its growers and has been regarded as one of France's most brilliant, passionate and inspired winemakers. Lardière announced is retirement in 2012. The domaine is farmed sustainably, with some parcels under biodynamics. The viticulturist is Jerry Jacquelin.

2006 Maison Louis Jadot Clos St-Jacques 1er Cru
Approx retail $110-135. 5 owners (Rousseau, Sylvia
Esmonin, Bruno Clair, Domaine Fourrier and Jadot). Clearly above all other 1er cru vineyards in Gevrey-
Chambertin and many feel deserving of grands cru status.
·
Rough and rustic at this stage and not very giving
aromatically. Medium depth of sweet, dark red fruits with noticeable oak. Needs another ten years at least.

2005 Domaine Louis Jadot Marsannay
13.0% alc., $20. Imported by Kobrand Corp, NY, NY.
·
Subdued but
pleasant perfume of black cherries and sandalwood. Tart and crisp black cherry flavors with a notable citrus
tug, plenty of acidity and supporting oak in the background.
Score: 85.

2004 Domaine Louis Jadot Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses
13.5% alc., $135 (purchase price and
current price). Imported by Kobrand Corp, NY, NY.
·
Moderate garnet color with slight rim bricking. Funky, even
over time, with aromas of old cork, dank cellar, old leather, toast and a hint of Bing cherry. Slightly sulfured at
first but disappearing over time, revealing the delicate flavor of chocolate imbued cherry with savory and char
notes. Silky in texture, with restrained tannins and some length on the finish. Good acid drive, even leading to a
slightly tart finish. The wine just doesn’t deliver enough charm. Drink up.
Score: Good.

2001 Maison Louis Jadot Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Dark fruited with plenty of juicy plum and
blackberry fruit, wrapped in muscular tannins. A savory wine that is still years away before the fruit will fully
emerge from its tannic cloak.
