Given Jadot’s track record with Chambertin (the 1990, tasted recently, is stupendous), I found this wine to be tight and reserved. Dark ruby-colored and offering a delightful nose of roses, perfume, and chocolate-covered cherries, it is a silky-textured, rich, lively, and wonderfully dense wine jam-packed with deeply ripe red and black fruits as well as hints of underbrush. What I tasted was certainly an outstanding wine, and my instincts and experience suggest there is more to it. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010+.- Pierre Rovani (08/1998)

Clean and minerally, with a wet earth, stone and cassis character that reveals a somewhat cool terroir. Firm, angular texture for now, so cellar. Best from 2005 through 2012. 2,500 cases made. — PM (05/1999)
