Winemaker's Notes:

Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin shows the qualities characteristic of the commune: deep color, with a multi-faceted berry and red fruit bouquet, a full, tannic structure and mellow texture carry into a lasting finish.

This powerful and perfumed wine require elaborate and strong-tasting food : leg of mutton, beef burgundy, game pâtés, strong cheeses.
