Domaine Louis Jadot, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2024

Represented by two casks this year, the 2024 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a perfumed, floral bouquet with a mixture of red and blue fruit, exquisite delineation and focus, one of my favourite amongst Jadot's reds. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, velvety smooth, the acidity maintaining tension. The finish is actually quite Musigny-like in terms of structure, gentle but insistent in grip with impressive sustain on the aftertaste. Superb.

More reserved than the outgoing Chapelle-Chambertin, the 2024 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) unwinds in the glass with notes of raspberries, incense and petals. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a fleshy core, powdery tannins and an expansive finish, it's a fine effort.
