First vintage of this Jadot outfit. Dark cherries, crushed marble, hint lime, cigar box, black tea. Subsequent vintages could never match this 2013. Who knows may be legendary wine maker Jacques Lardière was involved or they had better oak barrels shipped from France. 13.1%. Really a stand out for this wine from Oregon. Drink up at this point. — 8 months ago

A Louis Jadot project in Oregon, this is really nicely done. Very Meursault-like nose features toasty oak notes, oatmeal, wet limestoney seeming earth (is there even any limestone in the Willamette Valley?). Nice appley/pear fruit. Acids are unsurprisingly softer than the Côte d’Or, but the flavors are spot-on. Loads of fruit and mineral-inflected earth. Slight bitter note in the finish is welcome. Really good! — 10 days ago
