2018 Jadot Greves 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc
Grape
Chardonnay
Its Origins
In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
What The Critics Say
94/100 James Suckling
"This has the feel of a red wine with layers of fruit and phenolics that give it tannin tension. Full-bodied with dried apples and lemons with stone and mineral highlights. Drink or hold."
93/100 Decanter, Michael Apstein
"Pierre-Henry Gagey’s grandfather planted Chardonnay in this vineyard about 70 years ago. Then, Pierre-Henry’s father purchased another 0.8 hectares, which they planted entirely to Chardonnay. One of few fine white wines from Beaune, Le Clos Blanc is always a generous wine. The 2018 has finesse and structure that balances its opulence. Long and fresh, it’s another success in this warm vintage." Drink 2023 - 2030
90-92/100 Vinous, Neal Martin
"The 2018 Beaune Grèves le Clos Blanc 1er Cru has more detail and terroir expression than the Beaune Bressandes, displaying more breeding and complexity. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity that cuts through the passion fruit, lemon zest and pineapple notes. A dab of lemongrass emerges toward the persistent finish. Excellent" Drink 2021 - 2030
