Tasting notes
(Boucherottes is in the extremely southern part of Beaune, below Clos des Mouches): Bright, dark red. Complex scents of oak, mint and soil add interest to the raspberry and red cherry fruit aromas. Rich and sweet on the palate, but with good licorice and menthol lift; lovely savory wine with serious palate presence. Finishes classically dry and long, with the tannins spreading out to saturate the palate.

The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Les Boucherottes has a subtle bouquet that comes across more introspective than the 2015 Beaune Clos des Couchereaux, the fruit darker but equally well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, tensile tannin - plenty of tart red cherry fruit, quite saline in the mouth leading to an understated but very focused finish. This is another top-notch Beaune Premier Cru from Louis Jadot.
Tank sample. Bright mid crimson. Strange note on the nose. Doesn’t really hang together. Very stringy awkward finish. This may simply be young and unresolved…? (JR)

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.
