Some of the Cote de Nuits premier crus are better balanced, with richer, riper fruit than some of the most expensive grand crus. I especially admired the Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes, an uncommonly rich, sweet, provocative wine with terrific fruit intensity, and an exciting fragrance of fruit, flowers, and spice. It is a medium-bodied, graceful wine with well-integrated, unobtrusive tannin. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the subsequent 12-15. 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.
