Some of the Cote de Nuits premier crus are better balanced, with richer, riper fruit than some of the most expensive grand crus. One of Jadot's great 1993s is the Musigny. It boasts spectacular concentration, a super, penetrating fragrance of red and black fruits intermingled with the judicious use of toasty oak, medium to full body, admirable structure, and noticeable, ripe tannin that contributes to an overall sense of equilibrium. This terrific Musigny requires 5-7 years of cellaring; it should last for 20 years.
Jadot produced a high percentage of successful wines in 1993. There are also disappointments, particularly in the lower appellations which have turned out tough and tannic. There is no Jadot house style, save for rich, well-delineated, structured wines that stand the test of time. As a vintage, 1993 is less consistently excellent than 1990 or 1989.
In 1988, all the grand crus were bottled without filtration. That vintage was followed in 1990 and subsequent vintages, with all the premier and grand crus bottled without fining or filtration.
