Red Wine: 2020 | Jadot | Nuits St Georges Boudots

A much spicier and more elegant nose is comprised by notes of plum, sandalwood and dark raspberry. The medium weight plus flavors possess a caressing yet powerful mouthfeel where the intensity really builds on the palate coating, muscular and firm finale.

Much spicier aromas include those of violet, red berry coulis, soil tones and discreet wood influence. Seductive texture of the suave and solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors that flash good power on the firmly structured finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Notes of rich berry fruit, blood orange, rose petals and spices introduce the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, velvety and ample wine that’s layered and lively, with bright acids and a saline finish. This is promising.

• Decanter: A smoky, rich aroma that blends black plum and fig notes, with a hint of minerality and a bit of the almost ‘animal’ aroma of Nuits – that slightly exotic character that adds an extra dimension. Although the wine is tannic and firm on the palate, it is far from unapproachable and should age extremely well. This half-hectare parcel that Jadot farms in the Nuits premier cru Aux Boudots belongs to Domaine Gagey. It has done a marvellous job with the fruit in 2020.

Producer Information

Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most important wine producers and ngociants, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a portfolio that covers everything from inexpensive Bourgogne and Beaujolais wines to several grand cru wines, from the Cte de Beaune to Chablis. Unsurprisingly, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay feature heavily in the portfolio. The house was founded in Beaune in 1859 by Louis Jadot, although the first vineyard Clos de Ursules was purchased in the 1820s. The headquarters remains in Beaune, although vineyard holdings have increased exponentially. Louis Jadot owns land in some of Burgundy’s most famous vineyards, including Le Musigny, chezeaux, Chapelle-Chambertin and in the famously fragmented Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Louis Jadot wines are also made in Chambertin, Montrachet, Corton and Romane-Saint-Vivant. As well as the sizeable portfolio of wines made under the Louis Jadot label itself, the house also makes wines for Domaine du Duc de Magenta, and for Domaine Gagey. Andre Gagey took over as general manager for Louis Jadot in 1968 and, along with winemaker Jacques Lardire, was often held responsible for building Jadot’s high reputation in the 70s and 80s. The firm was acquired in 1985 by the owners of US wine importer Kobrand, which still owns the company and imports Jadot’s wines into the US. Gagey, whose son Pierre-Henry Gagey took over as president in 1991, died in 1999 and Lardire retired in 2012. Frdric Barnier, who joined the company in 2010, has since taken over as head winemaker. Thibault Gagey has since joined his father Pierre-Henry at the helm of the firm. Jadot is also strongly associated with its in-house cooperage and barrel brand, Cadus, which was established in 1996 in the village Ladoix-Serrigny (just outside Beaune) in cooperation with barrel firm Tonnellerie Vicard. In 2013, Vicard sold its stake in the operation to independent French stave mill Canadell.
