Gevrey Chambertin Louis Jadot

Vineyards situation : Gevrey Chambertin is the most northern of the great communes of the Côte de Nuits. There are 26 Premiers Crus and 8 Grands Crus.

Characteristics : Jadot Gevrey Chambertin wines are produced from vineyards lying on the extension of the slope on which the Grands and Premiers Crus are situated. These vineyards vary considerable in quality, and the name of the producer is thus more important here than elsewhere. Maison Louis Jadot vinifies the production of growers with whom it holds purchase agreements based on the quality of the harvest each year.

Wine making : This wine is fermented in vats for 3-4 weeks and aged 12-15 months in oak barrels before bottling.

Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy : Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin shows the qualities characteristic of the commune :
deep color, with a multi-faceted berry and red fruit bouquet, a full, tannic structure and mellow texture carry into a lasting finish.
This powerful and perfumed wine require elaborate and strong-tasting food : lamb, boeuf bourguignon, game pâtés, strong cheeses.

Preservation : This wine will certainly improve up to 5 to 8 years in a good cellar (good temperature and humidity).
