LOUIS JADOT CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY AMOUREUSES 1ER CRU 2018
$618.00
“There are three barrels of the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses (Domaine Louis Jadot), and when I inquired Frédéric Barnier admitted that he had indeed retained a bit of whole bunch fruit for this cuvée. Bursting with aromas of raspberries, cinnamon, orange rind, rose petals and musk, it’s full-bodied, ample and succulent, with terrific depth at the core, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. This is one of the finest wines in the portfolio this year. “We were never worried about the red wines in 2018,” explained Jadot’s Frédéric Barnier, “but we worked hard with the white winesblocking a lot of malolacticto make them fresh and lively. Of course,” he added, “the high yields helped retain freshness by retarding ripening.” Anyone who has tasted with Barnier knows that he tends to come to the point, and those succinct comments are in fact a great summation of Jadot’s 2018 vintage: beautifully balanced reds and whites that are impressively vibrant and precise. This was by some margin the largest range of wines I tasted from any producer in the 2018 vintage: that it was also one of the most consistent speaks volumes about the attention to detail and technical expertise of Barnier and his team. “Operating on a large scale, we know how important it is to ensure wines go dry and to avoid stuck fermentations; and we avoid cross-contamination and taste the wines regularly during élevage, so we don’t have issues with brettanomyces,” explained Barnier.” – Wine Advocate 93-95 Points
