2011 Domaine Louis Jadot, Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques

Louis Jadot, established 1859, sources this Pinot Noir from a one-hectare parcel of Clos Saint-Jacques—a south-facing 1er Cru site with marl and clay soils. Red cherry and wild raspberry dominate the palate, supported by mineral structure and earthy undertones. The 2011 vintage's constrained yields produced a wine of concentration and freshness, drinking well now with transparency that reflects its terroir.
