Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru ‘Celebration’ 2018.
This wine is deeply coloured, and shows notes of dark berries. Its tannins are fine grained and silky, showing the hallmark complexity and richness of Beaune's premiers crus.
VINEYARDS: This blend is based on a number of different climates, with different soils and aspects planted around Beaune.
WINEMAKING: The Beaune 1er Cru Celebration is made up of 17 parcels that are vinified separately and then blended and matured in oak barrels for 18 months.
This is definitely a child of its vintage as the black cherry, cassis and warm earth suffused nose is quite ripe yet not roasted or lacking in freshness. The opulently rich medium-bodied flavors possess a decidedly suave, round and velvet-textured texture with enough underlying acidity to avoid any sense of undue weight on the enveloping finish that begins to tighten up as it sits on the palate. This is the point where you begin to notice the underlying structure as the richness of the mid-palate essentially hides them. The 2018 Célébration is one of those wines that could easily be enjoyed now (serve it on the cooler side) or held for up to a decade with good results Allen Meadow's Burghound.com.
- Enjoy with:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
