2022 Louis Jadot Chassagne-Montrachet

*Burghound Outstanding!*89-91 While it varies from year to year, this blend typically includes a relatively high percentage of 1ers. Enough wood to notice is present on the ripe aromas of mostly petrol, white peach and rosemary oil. The rich, even plush, medium-bodied flavors possess unusually good volume for a villages-level Chassagne while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere bitter zest-inflected finale. Solid quality here for the appellation.
WA89 The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet (Maison Louis Jadot) is a strong performance for this sizable cuvée. Exhibiting aromas of buttered pears, yellow orchard fruit and mirabelle plums, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with a satiny, giving profile that will make friends on release.

Rigorous sorting and careful vinification is followed by aging in oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation controlled to ensure a lively sensation on the palate.
