Tasting notes
Bright yellow. Musky peach, apple and hazelnut aromas are complicated by a whiff of caramel. Spicy and sweet in the mouth, with firm acidity and a stony quality extending the wine's finish. This needs a couple of years in the bottle.

Meursault is in the centre of three communes: Blagny, Chassagne and Puligny. This vineyard is 48 years old and always produces small and very sweet fruit. The vineyard is spread over gentle slopes, between 230 and 360 metres above sea level. The eastern orientation of this vineyard is ideal as it allows maximum sunlight. Chalky soils with white marl are perfectly suited for growth of the Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation takes place in tanks for 3-4 weeks after which it is aged for 12-15 months in barrel before bottling. Smoky and attractively reductive. Firm and very crisp and pretty taut. A real thoroughbred. (JH)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
