Louis Jadot – Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru – Red – 2021:

 

The JADOT LOUIS GRANDS ECHEZEAUX RED is a benchmark Grand Cru from Maison Louis Jadot, representing the pinnacle of Pinot Noir from the hallowed vineyards of the Côte de Nuits. This is a wine of gravitas, built for the discerning collector and a testament to the Grand Cru classification.

Sommelier’s Notes

The wine displays a deep ruby-garnet colour. The nose is a masterclass in complexity, revealing intense red cherry and raspberry fruit underscored by elegant floral notes, Asian spice, and the profound earthiness characteristic of Grands-Échezeaux terroir. The palate is noble and elegantly structured, offering a dense, authoritative mouthfeel. The tannins are remarkably fine-grained, complementing the succulent acidity and providing the backbone for a finish that lingers for minutes.

Cuisine & Cellaring

• Decanting: Recommended for 1-2 hours for younger expressions.
• Cellaring Potential: Exceptional (15-25+ years).
• Recommended Pairings: Roast Baron of Lamb, Grouse or Partridge with game chips, Beef Wellington, Deer Steak with Morel Mushrooms.
