Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, the Clos Saint-Jacques 2022 is crafted in the spirit of precision that distinguishes Louis Jadot. The grapes, meticulously selected, preserve the integrity of the berries to concentrate the expression of the climat. Vinification aims for the right balance between extraction and finesse in order to convey the flesh, structure and length characteristic of this 1er Cru. The élevage, conducted with tact, uses lightly dosed oak to frame the bouquet without marking it. The objective remains purity, inner tension and persistence on the palate, guarantees of a gastronomic red capable of withstanding time. Carried by a 2022 vintage of fine maturity, the wine combines concentration, freshness and a satiny texture, offering a clear reading of the Clos Saint-Jacques.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Deep ruby with garnet highlights, clear and vibrant, catching the light and announcing a controlled density. The brilliance of the disc testifies to perfect ripeness and lively vigor, promising harmonious development in bottle.
• Nose : A noble bouquet of red and black fruits where fresh cherry, raspberry and blackberry converse with notes of peony, wild rose, liquorice and gentle spices. On airing, hints of undergrowth, fine cocoa and a discreet smoky edge emerge, recalling the depth of the terroir and the delicacy of the élevage.
• Palate : Generous, caressing attack, fleshy material supported by powdery tannins of exemplary elegance. Freshness structures the mid-palate, stretches the sap and extends a sleek, very persistent finish marked by a saline and spicy persistence. The balance between power and grace defines the personality of the Clos Saint-Jacques.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 15 et 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to promote the development of the bouquet. Decanting for 30 to 60 minutes will help harmonise the texture and reveal floral and spicy details. Store bottles on their side, away from light and vibrations, in a cool, stable cellar. This 1er Cru has a notable cellaring potential, expected to gain complexity over the years while already offering a highly satisfying tasting experience.

Accords mets et vin

• Game and noble poultry : roast pheasant with herbs, partridge with grapes, delicately prepared hare, where fine flesh meets the wine's depth.
• Braised meats : braised beef chuck, melt-in-the-mouth beef cheek in red wine, reduced jus with aromatics, which call for its savoury frame and length.
• Mushrooms and woodland flavours : porcini risotto, sautéed chanterelles, creamy polenta, echoing the earthy and spicy nuances.
• Refined regional cuisine : long-confit rooster, rich jus, smoked bacon and pearl onions, magnified by the cru's structure and length.
