At 2,500 cases, the 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin represents one of Jadot’s largest lots, and exhibits bitter black cherry, roasted meat, black tea, and fennel aromas. Juicy and bright, its bitter-sweet intensity and meatiness carry into a firm, darkly-inflected, but formidably concentrated finish. Jacques Lardiere has once again presided over a collection for the most part not intended to flatter in its youth, but rather to achieve an eventual balance of fruit acidity with (in this instance frequently quite prominent) tannin. Prolonged post-fermentative extraction promoted a formidably-structured group of wines, which Lardiere expressed no hurry about bottling. Certain of these – particularly from the Cote de Beaune – displayed a slightly drying finishing astringency or simply an austere lack of charm to match their concentration, traits Lardiere suggested might be traceable to drought stress in those sites. A brief July rain that reached the Cote de Nuits but not the Cote de Beaune was critical, he asserts, and all of Jadot’s vines in the northern Cote were picked before the harvest in the south commenced. (Wines from the Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Heritiers Louis Jadot, or Domaine Gagey, have been identified with a letter “D” in their listings.)

An animal note on the initial attack gives way to cherry and spice, with a touch of leather flavors. A leaner style, with firm tannins showing up on the finish. Best from 2010 through 2018.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Gevrey-Chambertin Select to Add
