Louis Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Domaine Louis Jadot | 2014 | 750 ml.

VN95 Vinous Mar 2017

"Bright, dark red. Ineffable floral and pepper topnotes to the aromas of black raspberry, tart cherry, licorice, menthol and spices. At once savory and sweet; incredibly dense, refined wine with uncommon creaminess and concentration to its flavors of red and black fruits, minerals and herbs. Superb old-vines thickness and silky depth here, but also with terrific definition, spine and energy. Finishes with outstanding rising length. A treat to taste today but this almost liqueur-like wine should go on for 20+ years. A great performance in this cooler vintage." (95 pts.)

RP94+ Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 30th Dec 2015

"The 2014 Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru is maybe the surprise package this year. It comes from very old vines planted in 1921. It has a really quite beautiful bouquet with very pure, mineral-rich wild strawberry and raspberry fruit — precise and wonderfully focused. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, fresh and tensile but with intense tart red cherry and strawberry fruit fanning out on the finish. Très grand cru! This comes highly recommended." (94–96 pts.)

RP96 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 31st Oct 2017

"Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru from Louis Jadot (Domaine Gagey) has a very subtle and refined bouquet with pure red berry fruit, minerals, rose petals and orange blossom—one of the most entrancing aromatics of the vintage. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly tart entry, driven along by the acidity but with sufficient fruit tucked in just below. It fans out gloriously on the finish and leaves you wanting more. Quite simply, this is one of the finest wines from this grand cru vineyard. Tasted September 2017." (96 pts.)

VN93+ Vinous Jan 2016

"Medium bright red, not hugely saturated. Brisk, high-pitched perfume of black cherry, rose petal, red licorice and spices. Juicy, bright and light on its feet, showing outstanding sneaky intensity to the very concentrated flavors of raspberry, minerals and rose petal. Very dense, classy and fine-grained grand cru with a strikingly long, rising finish. This makes the Clos Saint-Jacques seem a bit lean by comparison. These are Jadot’s oldest vines, says Barnier, and they virtually always yield about 35 hectoliters per hectare." (93–95 pts.)
