Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012
Building off the considerable success of their 2009 Beaune 150th Anniversary 1er Cru, Jadot has decided to make the wine again in top years. One of the highlights in this range, the 2012 boasts stunning power, depth and harmony. The lifted aromatics recall the Ursules, but here the fruit possesses more volume and creaminess. An explosive, layered finish rounds things out in style... Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

They make this one from grapes from all the vineyards you see on the label. It needs some more time but I was curious about it and have enough other bottles. The fruits are slightly candied and floral on the nose. A light touch of funk, bright, ripe; strawberries, dark cherries, cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, soft, sweet baking spices, and bright red florals. The body is round and lush. The fruits are a little darker on the palate. Poached strawberries, touch of blackberries, hues of blue fruits, dark cherries, cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, soft, sweet baking spices, Christmas cake, dark rich earth, soft, round limestone minerals, a little funk on the palate as well, fresh red florals, juicy acidity and a round fruit driven finish with crumbled minerals on the long palate set. I'd say better things ahead for this wine with five more years in bottle.

Very good Pinot from 2012, should have bought more of these! Fairly tannic, med bodied, cherries, slight reduction

Deep Ruby with red fruit and gentle spice aromas, very complex. On the palate the wine displays cherry and raspberry flavors with developed smooth tannins and a hints of earth and spice. Well structured with good acidity balance on a long lingering finish ending with minerality. Wow! Will age nicely for a long time. Tasting Sample.

Nice complexity. Has some jammy fruit at first and then the tannins slowly moved forward.

Légère déception, je m’attendais à un peu plus, le vin était un peu fermé, à attendre encore quelques années
