Louis Jadot – Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru – Red – 1985:

 

The Definitive Grand Cru: Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos de Bèze

From the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru stands as a testament to Burgundy’s nobility. This hallowed vineyard, established in the 7th century, yields a wine of profound depth and grace. It’s a Grand Cru that manages to be both powerful and ethereal, a true collector’s item and a quintessential expression of Pinot Noir’s savoury and classic side.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A rich, dark ruby hue, promising great concentration and evolution.
• Aroma: Highly expressive and complex. Expect layers of wild strawberries, crushed raspberries, and dark plum, interwoven with forest floor (sous-bois), exotic spices, and a subtle smokiness from French oak.
• Flavour: The palate is full, commanding, and exquisitely structured. It delivers concentrated fruit framed by dense, refined tannins and a backbone of fresh acidity. The finish is lengthy and memorable, a signature of its world-class quality and its remarkable ability to mature gracefully for decades.

Food Pairing & Service

This wine demands an elevated culinary experience. Serve between 16°C and 17°C. Older bottles should be handled with care and allowed to breathe.

• Suggested Pairings: Classic French meat stews (like Coq au Vin), rich game pies, and strong, mature cheeses.
• Longevity: An exceptional investment with a 20+ year cellaring window.
