This bottle of the 1996 is simply moving in its beauty

which is better known as Pinot Gouges

“We like short names for the wines as they are easier to remember

the older vines Les Bréterins and Bas de Duresses – the vines run from 35 to 75 years of age)

dark berries and violet scents

Louis Jadot, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_australia This bottle of the 1996This is notably higher toned than the Charmes with a more elegant blend of cool and restrained red currant, raspberry and liqueur of red cherry aromas, all trimmed in an overt stoniness that continues onto the bigger and more obviously concentrated flavors that carry better depth and length on the beautifully balanced if moderately austere finish. I quite like this and the sense of harmony is pronounced. Lovely and entirely classic in style. (92 94)
