Louis Jadot Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru 2006.
A majestic Grand Cru. Pure and elegant with good weight, concentration and grip with slight aromas of liquorice and red cherries.
VINEYARDS: Griotte-Chambertin, the smallest of the Gevrey Chambertin Grand Crus at 2.63 ha, does not take its name from a cherry tree as the name might suggest, but rather from its shape, a concave bowl that traps the sun so much in summer that it is like a little grill or "grillotte". The vines are planted on a base of compacted limestone.
VINTAGE: After some challenging growing conditions, the 2006 harvest landed safely. The Ban des Vendages for whites was on the 18th September, and for reds this was on the 20th – although special dispensation was given to certain sites in the Côte de Beaune where there was a degree of rot. Sugar levels across both varieties were acceptable.
WINEMAKING: This wine is fermented in vats for 3-4 weeks and aged 18-20 months in oak barrels.
- Enjoy with:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
- Feathered Game
