Last Tasted 8/92 Jadot's white burgundies are always among the slowest to evolve, so it is not surprising that this immensely promising 1986 still tastes young and backward. While full-bodied and expansive on the palate, the acidity is higher than normal (Jadot frequently blocks the malo-lactic). The fresh color, as well as the lack of evolution in its bouquet and taste suggest this wine would benefit from 3-5 years of further cellaring. It will easily last for up to two decades.

The initial scent is reminiscent of ice and stone, with hints of chamomile tea and beeswax. The flavors tend toward honey, apricot, spice and mineral that play out on the lively structure.
