Louis Jadot
Clos Saint Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
My first time trying this wine. Disappointing. I knew it wasn’t going to be spectacular because it’s 2012 vintage. Difficult year. The wine is kind of harsh, dry and hard to drink. I don’t think it’s shut down or will be improving with more bottle age. This was the last year Jacques Lardiere made wine at the domaine. I’m not sure if he is retired or if he’s now working & consulting in Oregon. I opened my last bottle of Jadot 2014 CSJ about a month ago & that was very good. When it first shipped over it was very thin & simplistic but some of the dark/black fruit the CSJ cru is known for was starting to emerge from that bottle.

Remarkably pure and radiant, showing focused cherry fruit, and adding nuance as dusty soil, herbs, minerals, and floral tones joined the mix. It was youthfully tight and lifted on the palate, yet already enjoyable on its potential alone with tart berry, hints of spiced citrus, crushed stone minerality and brisk acidity. This is so young and full of potential yet hard to resist already.

It’s possible this 2012 Jadot Clos Saint Jacques bottle was damaged from heat.

Good now but will this be worth the price of admission in 10 years?

Quite dark. Blackberry with a hint of forest floor. Deep, complex and closed. I suspect this will be really good 3-4 years from now.
