For the informed enthusiast as well as the collector, this cuvée of Fine wines promises an intense, finely chiselled and deeply memorable tasting experience.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Pinot Noir sourced from the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, the 2013 vintage rests on the uniqueness of a brown fissured clay-limestone soil on the Chambolle-Musigny slope, which gives the wine its mineral backbone and textural precision. Maison Louis Jadot implements a measured maturation of 18 to 20 months in oak barrels to refine the structure without ever masking the clarity of the fruit. The approach, faithful to the classic aesthetic of the Côte de Nuits, respects the identity of the vintage and the cru, for a style that is both savory and refined. Slow maturation allows a subtle dialogue between sap, floral notes and spicy weaving, offering a chiselled palate and an aromatic relief of great complexity. From the brightness of the fruit to the depth of the most delicate toasted notes, every detail aligns precisely to serve the pure expression of the terroir.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Deep and luminous, revealing an elegant density edged with crystalline highlights that announce a precise texture and a well-held palate.
• Nose : Complex palette of blackberry and red berries, mingled with bramble, orange blossom and violet. Accents of cooked dark fruit, red cherry, a touch of stone and a veil of mocha compose a bouquet of rare elegance.
• Palate : Medium to full-bodied, with firm, crunchy tannins, measured power and refined textures. The balance expresses itself naturally; the sap lengthens the finish, which persists long, straight and vibrant.

Température de service et conseils

Serve at cellar temperature in large Burgundy glasses to reveal the floral and mineral nuances. A gentle decanting may be considered to unfurl aromatic complexity, depending on your preference and the bottle’s development. Store in a cellar, quietly and protected from fluctuations, to allow this Grand Cru to continue its slow evolution. The 2013 vintage offers a cellaring potential until 2032, with remarkable stages of harmony to be reached over time.
