This is a hearty red wine with substantial tannins, a distinct earthy note, and long finish with spice and dried fruit nuances.
Louis Jadot Description
Nuits-Saint-Georges is the southernmost commune of the Côte de Nuits, with primarily limestone and marl soils. The grapes are handpicked and sorted, then undergo fermentation. After a long maceration, a proportion of the wine is set to age in French oak barrels. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
Burghound: 91 Points
A moderately high-toned nose offers up notes of mostly various wild red berries, earth and a hint of wood spice. The pliant, rounded and easy-going lighter weight flavors possess good delineation and sneaky good length and the mildly rustic finale. This is definitely on the lighter side but it's still quite pretty.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Offering up aromas of sweet, smoky berry fruit mingled with notions of grilled meats and loamy soil, the 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village (Maison Louis Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, its chassis of powdery tannin largely cloaked in an appealing core of ripe, earthy fruit. As usual, this Maison cuvée is based on domaine fruit from Jadot's holdings in lieu-dit Les Charmois.
