Chapelle Chambertin, Louis Jadot 2020

One of the more reserved wines in the range on the day of my visit was the 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant wine evocative of red berries, pomegranate, sweet spices and rose petals. Deep and tightly wound, it will reward further élevage and bottle age, as the raw materials are of obviously high quality.

A fresh clean purple. I am not finding much bouquet but there is quite a wealth of fresh red fruit on the palate with a good acid balance. I think I am slightly missing the nobility, and the tannins slightly dry the finish. Drink from 2028-2036. Tasted: September 2024.

Dense purple, some energy, not quite come together yet. This has broad shoulders, the structure I expect of Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin, from ancient vines still in great health. Excellent acidity, this keeps on kicking on with wonderful nuances and a very long finish. Tasted: November 2021
