Louis Jadot - Gevrey Chambertin 2017
89/100
Robert Parker
"Revisited from the bottle, Jadot's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village (Maison Louis Jadot) presents itself beautifully, floating in the glass with aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant mingled with notes of candied bark, smoked meat, and loamy soil. Medium-bodied, supple, and enveloping, its succulent fruit core is supported by powdery tannins and lively acidity. [...]" (Wine Advocate 2020)

Food and wine pairings
The powerful flavors and aromas of this wine call for fairly robust and elaborate cuisine: leg of lamb, beef bourguignon, stews, strong cheeses (except blue cheeses), etc.

About the estate:
The Gagey family became involved in this veritable piece of Burgundian historical heritage upon the death of Louis-Auguste Jadot. With no heir, the estate was entrusted in 1962 to André Gagey, who remained its manager until 1991, when he handed over the reins to his son Pierre-Henry, who now oversees the 225 hectares of vineyards. Since 2011, Frédéric Barnier has been in charge of winemaking, perfectly succeeding Jacques Lardière and further improving the consistency and homogeneity of all the wines. The whites are pneumatically pressed and fermented directly in barrels, where they are aged on lees with periodic stirring for 12 to 20 months. The red wines are vinified destemmed, uncrushed, without cold pre-fermentation, and undergo a vatting period of 25 to 27 days before beginning their 12 to 22 months of aging in barrels, a third of which are new.

About wine:
Revisited from the bottle, Jadot's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village (Maison Louis Jadot) presents itself beautifully, floating in the glass with aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant mingled with notes of candied peel, smoked meat, and silty soil. Medium-bodied, supple, and enveloping, its succulent fruit core is supported by powdery tannins and lively acidity. As readers will recall, this cuvée is largely produced from purchased fruit, but it is vinified in-house by Barnier and his team.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This prestigious wine merchant is run with great efficiency by Pierre-Henry Gagey, who is very involved in Burgundy. The company has an extensive range and a beautiful collection of terroirs, including the main Burgundy appellations. Frédéric Barnier, who has been in charge of winemaking since 2012, is gradually making his mark by refining the wines. Consistency is one of this house's strengths. While the whites show beautiful balance, the reds are strict and severe, with woodiness dominating the fruit and even acetate notes, which this year detract from the enjoyment of certain vintages. Let's hope this is temporary, as the star is under threat.
