Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
The 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from gnarly old centurion vines, has a harmonious, classically-styled bouquet at first, but after 10 minutes it turns volte-face, and the fruit bursts forward and budges the terroir expression out of the limelight (to my chagrin), flirting with a bit of VA. The palate is medium-bodied, with a pastille-like purity, tart redcurrant and cranberry fruit, notable linearity and impressive mineralité toward the finish. There is real intellect here —a superb Grand Cru, though it just loses some delineation with time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2050
Robert Parker 95
One of the highlights of the range, the 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) mingles aromas of sweet red berries with hints of raw cocoa, spices, licorice, loamy soil and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it’s velvety and concentrated, with considerable depth and mid-palate amplitude despite its elegant, seamless profile.
