Louis Jadot Les Grandes Ruchottes – Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru – White – 2022:

 

Maison Louis Jadot’s Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru “Grandes Ruchottes” is a magnificent example of fine, age-worthy white Burgundy. Drawing its character from a highly-regarded *climat* within the Côte de Beaune, this wine captures the essence of top-tier Chardonnay: exceptional concentration, opulent texture, and profound minerality.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

A pale gold colour with a bright sheen. The intense and complex bouquet is immediately captivating, revealing layers of:

• Warm brioche, toasted nuts, and fresh dairy butter.
• Delicate hints of honeysuckle and a core of ripe orchard fruit.
• The classic, deep, chalky minerality inherent to Chassagne-Montrachet.

On the palate, it is rich and round, yet beautifully structured by a precise acidity that guarantees longevity. The finish is lengthy and memorable, leaving a sophisticated impression of vanilla and fine oak.
