Louis Jadot
Clos de Malte Santenay Chardonnay
Santenay, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Prior notes still mostly stand:
Nose has oxidized yelow apple slice, dried papaya, candied pineapple, hay bale, cold candle wax and buttercream.
Palate has dried pineapple, dehydrated lemon, pineapple cake and moist sand with a long finish.
Decanted 5H.
I'm quite pleased at how strong our last two bottles have been; amazingly fresh, barrel notes have almost fully retreated. This was our final bottle on the vintage, but will hold another 2-4Y in proper storage.
24 Hour Update:
Amazing! Nose is ripe tropical fruits, dried coconut, poundcake with buttercream icing. Palate is dried lemons/pineapple and coconut cremé. I'm so glad we have the opportunity to try this again today!

Nose has oxidized yellow apple slice, dried papaya, candied pineapple, hay bale, cold candle wax, oak shavings and buttercream.
Palate has dried pineapple, dehydrated lemon, pineapple cake, limestone sand with a very long finish.
Lightest color of yellow in the Gabriel Glas, by far the least visually oxidized version of this wine of all prior. Fresh as a Spring day!

The “Clos de Malte” is a 7 ha Monopole (Louis Jadot is sole owner) situated on the climat “Sous la Fée” at foot of Montagne des Troix Croix. Santenay Clos de Malte is mainly planted with Pinot Noir with a small hectare of Chardonnay situated on very damp soil of limestone and clay. Rich & elegant, aromas of stone fruit, citrus & spice. Flavors of green apple, lemon & peach with cedar, wet stone and baking spice. Lingering, ending with a mineral character. Nice!

Jun 29th, 2019Quite similar to the 2013, at this stage.
Nose of tropical fruits, banana skin, light dried sage. Palate has yummy fermented papaya, peach, faded tangerine notes and lightly creamy oak.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our full cast of conductors include Andris Nelsons, Christoph Eschenbach, Keith Lockhart, Michael Tilson Thomas and John Williams. The beautiful and vocally talented Audra McDonald is our host for the evening along with Midori on violin and Yo-Yo Ma on cello.
This will likely be an evening to remember for some time. Program notes from the BSO "Reflecting the season-long theme, The Bernstein Centennial Celebration at Tanglewood will spotlight Bernstein's wide-ranging talents as a composer, his many gifts as a great interpreter and champion of other composers, and his role as an inspirer of a new generation of musicians and music lovers across the country and around the globe. The gala concert will feature a kaleidoscopic array of artists and ensembles from the worlds of classical music, film, and Broadway. The entire first half of the program is dedicated to selections from such brilliant Bernstein works as Candide, West Side Story, Mass, and Serenade. Music from the classical canon very dear to Bernstein's heart-selections from Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn and music by Copland-plus a new work by John Williams, makes up a good portion of the program's second half; the finale of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony brings the program to a dramatic close."
We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.
Nose of under-ripe tropical fruits, banana skin, light oak touch. Palate has yummy papaya, under-ripe peach, tangerine and sweet oak.
Photos of the Jadot (Update, Bouchard!) Chateau with its beautiful colored slate roof (to the left of the chateau its the conservatory where we had an epic lunch during our visit and they used to overwinter their citrus trees in here many, many years ago), pictures of the first room of the most amazing library cellar in all of Burgundy (the subsequent rooms are even more amazing) and our bottle of the evening.
24hr Update, sweet oak and fermented tropical fruits just stunning today, last bottle. ☹️
OMG Update: somehow I grabbed pics from our Bouchard visit, argh! The only Jadot thing in the collage is the bottle, so sorry!

1 person found it helpfulApr 24th, 2020On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our conductors are David Newman and John Williams are leading a diverse program of cinematic works composed by John Williams entitled "Across The Stars: Music Of John Williams". We'll enjoy pieces from Star Wars (various episodes), Harry Potter, E.T., Memoirs of a Geisha and many others. All works to feature the violin virtuoso, Anne-Sophie Mutter, a personal favorite soloist of ours on these hallowed grounds. Mr. Williams has rearranged many of the selections today to better feature Ms. Mutter, an exciting afternoon will lay ahead. 🎼🎻
A nicely aging monopole Chardonnay, loving the lightly oxidized yellow fruits.
Nose has oxidized, yellow apple skin peel, papaya and medium oak more notable today than prior bottles, albeit not distracting but embracing.
Palate has creamy, tropical fruits, over-ripe lemon and light minerality.
Just an exceptional bottle, likely the best of all the 'Clos de Malte' 2011's we've enjoyed to date.

Perhaps more air time is necessary, right now it's not as good as the '12 or '13 (awesome).
