Louis Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2016

Professional Ratings

• 97 Wine Enthusiast
  This wine comes from the northernmost of the Grand Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin. Immense red fruits are as immense as the tannins, both laced with intense, juicy acidity. The wine’s richness will be enhanced as it ages.
• 96 James Suckling
  The rose and dried-strawberry aromas with subtle stone, fruit tea and walnut notes are so persuasive in this. Full-bodied, firm and powerful yet very balanced and polished. Shows strength with finesse. Reserved and tight. Give it time to shows its greatness. Try after 2023.

  The 2016 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, unfurling in the glass with a lovely and expressive bouquet of cherries, dark chocolate, incense and subtle hints of smoky new oak and clove. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety with a deep core of fruit, tangy but ripe acids and a long, penetrating finish. It's a beautifully elegant and direct example of Chapelle-Chambertin, from a parcel planted in 1920-1921 where most of the old vines remain intact.

  Tangy cherry and raspberry fruit flavors signal this tightly knit red. Tense and elegant, with flashes of floral and spice, buoyed by a solid structure. Fine length. Best from 2023 through 2043.
