1999 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Burgundy - 92-95 pts!

Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most important negociants, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a portfolio that covers everything from inexpensive Bourgogne and Beaujolais wines to several grand cru wines, from the Côte de Beaune to Chablis. Unsurprisingly, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay feature heavily in the portfolio.

The house was founded in Beaune in 1859 by Louis Jadot, although the first vineyard – Clos de Ursules – was purchased in the 1820s. The headquarters remains in Beaune, although vineyard holdings have increased exponentially. Louis Jadot owns land in some of Burgundy's most famous vineyards, including Le Musigny, Échezeaux, Chapelle-Chambertin and in the famously fragmented Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Louis Jadot wines are also made in Chambertin, Montrachet, Corton and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.

1999 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Burgundy - 92-95 pts! The sweet perfume, talcum powder, freshly cut flower, and candied cherry-scented 1999 Clos Vougeot (domaine) is a chewy-textured, medium to full-bodied wine. This dense ("This is the densest wine we produced in 1999," said Pierre-Henri Gagey), powerful, and intense wine has loads of blackberry and cassis liqueur-like fruit that is intermingled with magnificently sweet tannin. Its impressively long finish reveals additional layers of candied fruits. RP
