2018 Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Greves
Grape
Pinot Noir
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
92+/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, William Kelley
"The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves (Domaine Gagey) is showing nicely from bottle, offering up aromas of red cherries, pomegranate, plums and woodsmoke. Medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant, with powdery but youthfully assertive structuring tannins and fine depth at the core, this is one of the cooler, more classically balanced 2018s in the range this year, with lively fruit tones and bright acids, and it's a fine prospect for the cellar." Drink 2025 - 2045
89-91/100 Vinous, Neal Martin
"The 2018 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru has a sweet milk-chocolate-tinged bouquet that just lacks the precision of the Les Bressandes. The palate is mediumbodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy and forward. I would have liked a little more mineralité toward the finish but this feels svelte and charming." Drink 2022 - 2033
