Why We're Buying
Combine world class winemaking with the most revered terroir in Côte de Nuits, and you have 2016 Maison Louis Jadot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. This pinot noir has long been a centerpiece of the estate’s portfolio, which dates back to 1859. Hailing from the lowest and shallowest slopes in the area, the wine has a punchy yet approachable character that has come to define the Charmes-Chambertin style. An ocean of black cherries, strawberries, and blueberries forms the core of this medium-bodied pinot noir. Touches of oak, spice, and underbrush provide complexity that complements the voluptuous physique and round mouthfeel. Make sure to give this gem at least a decade in the cellar for it to reach its full potential.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a voluptuous and sensual bouquet, perhaps the most instantly attractive of the quintet of Jadot's grand cru Gevreys that I tasted. There are waves of crushed strawberries, black cherries, blueberry and violet aromas all neatly entwined with the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy black cherry and boysenberry fruit laced with bay leaf and black tea, becoming more structured and Mazoyères-like on the finish (although it is proper "Charmes!").
