**From En Gémeaux, which the oldest vines in the Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards**
The Chapelle-Chambertin, from 80-year-old vines which were formerly part of the Domaine Clair-Daü, is superb this year, wafting from the glass with notes of rose petal, cherry and cocoa powder. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegantly open-knit, with supple tannins and a lovely core of supple, sappy fruit.

Cask sample. Lightish crimson. Fragrant with sweet red cherry, charming and seductive. Relatively slight on the palate. The tannins are super-fine and the freshness is there but the density is less than I might have expected in the middle.
Drink 2022-2030

This wine comes from the northernmost of the Grand Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin. Immense red fruits are as immense as the tannins, both laced with intense, juicy acidity. The wine’s richness will be enhanced as it ages.
James Suckling: 96 Points
The rose and dried-strawberry aromas with subtle stone, fruit tea and walnut notes are so persuasive in this. Full-bodied, firm and powerful yet very balanced and polished. Shows strength with finesse. Reserved and tight. Give it time to shows its greatness. Try after 2023.
Burghound: 95 Points
Moderately strong wood and menthol elements frame the aromas of essence of red cherry, forest floor, rose petal, sauvage and newly turned earth hints. The rich, intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint, all wrapped in a balanced, austere and incredibly persistent finish. The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety yet very serious effort displays excellent power and like many of these Gevrey grands crus, is a wine that is not only built-to-age but one that is going to need plenty of it. - April 2018
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2016 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, unfurling in the glass with a lovely and expressive bouquet of cherries, dark chocolate, incense and subtle hints of smoky new oak and clove. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety with a deep core of fruit, tangy but ripe acids and a long, penetrating finish. It's a beautifully elegant and direct example of Chapelle-Chambertin, from a parcel planted in 1920-1921 where most of the old vines remain intact.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Tangy cherry and raspberry fruit flavors signal this tightly knit red. Tense and elegant, with flashes of floral and spice, buoyed by a solid structure. Fine length. Best from 2023 through 2043.
