Last night's wine we opened on my weekend journey in Burgundy was the 2017 Louis Jadot Savigny-les-Beaune Pinot Noir.

On the nose there is nice fruit, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, spice, herbal notes, menthol, oak and forest floor.

On the palate are beautiful rrd fuit notes of tart cherry, raspberry, strawberry, red currant, clove, spices, oak, minerality and earth.

This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and medium + fine tannins that smoothly move into a medium to long red fruit and earthy finish. Let's continue to have a wonderful weekend and even though we seem to be on the precipice of moving out of this pandemic please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 days ago

Very young. Decanted for 90 minutes. Subtle black cherry aromas. Strawberries, raspberry, cedar, and mushrooms on the palate. Good now but should improve immensely over the next several years. — 8 days ago

Pale green in color w/gorgeous nose of honey, roasted hazelnuts, orchard & citrus fruit & gala apples, w/hints of vanilla & coconut. Soft & supple on mid-palate w/smooth clean finish. Just a bit flabby in the middle, but really delicious. — 19 days ago

Dark rubi robe, aromas of dark berries, crushed flowers and a hint of cinnamon. Brood and rich body but very complex too. This is great stuff and requires 5 years more to show its best. Enthusiastically recommended. — 25 days ago

Pop and pour. Again, lovely. On the nose: grapefruit, gooseberry, cut grass, and a soft creamy note. On the palate: good acidity, fantastic density and creamy mouthfeel. Perfect with lobster pasta with red sauce. Yum, in the zone for my palate. — 21 hours ago

I still remember the first time I drank a Cristal, when a friend popped open a bottle (that he bought duty-free on a trans-Atlantic flight) at his SoHo apartment some 20+ years ago. Wasn’t much of a wine drinker then, but how wine could taste this good?!

Though from a lesser grand vintage, the 07’ did not disappoint. The purity of the fruits and chalky minerality are second to none. Crystal clear acidity provide great tension throughout. Graceful textured full body.

The House of Louis Jadot has been producing exceptional Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. Medium lemon with aromas of rich stone fruits with subtle toasty notes. On the palate apple and pear with earthy nutty notes, gentle spice, great mouthfeel on long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Nice! — 9 days ago

Pulled from my cellar and brought to Tasting Group. Decanted for sediment and served within 30 minutes of opening. Cork was pulled with a Durand; intact and saturated about halfway. In customary fashion, served double-blind to the group. The color is a deep, slightly hazy garnet. Medium viscosity. The nose is insanely expressive. Mushrooms and forest floor dominated early but these characteristics actually took more of a back seat to the fruit after about 30-45 minutes of air. At that point, desiccated red fruit with strawberries, cherries and cranberries were predominate followed by Salmiaki, dried flowers, with the mushrooms and the forest floor. Some baking spices too. Sneaky tannin…putting it medium+ and medium+ acid. Moderate alcohol. The finish was long and silky. Such lovely lovely fruit still and dare I say, intense! The group was all over France and Italy with some choosing Barbaresco, some saying Brunello, some in Burgundy and others saying Southern Rhone. All were blown away that it was a 15 year old Beaujolais. Drink now or over the next few years. — 24 days ago
