These are night 2 notes after overnighting under a vacuum closure. Intense nose features scads of ripe apple fruit, with a hint of white peach. There’s the classic pungent wet limestone scents I expect from the Maconnais, and a little meadow wildflower. Palate provides a big up-front whack of crisp, ripe fruit, but the acids are very nice for such a hot year. Is it complex? No. But it’s a classically satisfying snootful of interesting Chardonnay. — a month ago

The French Revolution detonated everything about the old order of France, and wine was no exception - far from it. The great vineyards of Burgundy, that had been tended to and ached over by Benedictine and Cistercian monks for centuries, were confiscated and auctioned off to the petite bourgeoisie in Paris and Dijon. The Napoleonic inheritance code, which guaranteed an even split between all children, led to these ancient plots being further divided up with each passing generation.

It wasn't long before there was a multitude of disinterested Parisians who owned a few vines in the Cote d'Or as their birthright. Négociant houses, such as Louis Jadot, popped up to make deals with these small landholders, aggregate their scattered plots, and bring their wine to the world.

Modern Burgundy is still very much a reflection of its transformation during the Revolution, with some of the world’s most famous and valuable land portioned out into tiny parcels. It’s no wonder demand outstripped supply long ago!
