IIRC the legendary Jacques Lardiere retired at the end of 2012 so with any luck he had at least some control over the vinification
This will be a legendary wine as the old vines deep roots have handled the heat and the drought of 2012 well but this will require a lot of patience Kelly, your children will thank you.

Pretty much.
The days of $200 Jadot Bonnes Mares are long gone, new releases are now $350-400. Not Roumier but definitely high end where the Jadot Nuits were once a bargain
I had two of those wines with you in the past year and I found both the 1985 Amoureuses and the 1990 Bonnes Mares to be too young and tight even after an hour of air.
Tasting this evening downtown (annual event).

****I hear there will be a Rosé too.
Taking the opportunity of this thread to see if some berserkers have some experiences with the bottles below that I have just acquired. I don’t have any experience with Jadot yet but had the opportunity to buy at a “cheap” (ie compared to usual bottle prices, not ni absolute terms) from the Domaine.
I’m especially wondering if it’s absurd to want to open the two 2007 Grand Cru or not. I think I’ll be patient with both 2012 (and Meursault 2017 of course) and taste the Clos des Ursules 09 and Bressandes 14
- Beaune 1C Clos des Ursules 2009
- Beaune 1C Clos des Ursules 2012
- Corton-Pougets GC 2012
- Clos Vougeot GC 2007
- Beaune 1C Bressandes 2014 white
- Meursault 1C Charmes 2017
- Chambertin-Clos de Bèze GC 2007
The Ursules is a very ageworthy wine. No reason to open it, but it should be quite good.
Just a note. Jadot have had a dismal pox record on the whites. I wouldn’t wait too long on the Meursault.
I don’t remember when but they have since switched to DIAM.
Since we’re talking Jadot here, any thoughts on drink dates for the following? I feel like on Burgundy, CT isn’t great for dates, for example, I can’t imagine that that Beaux Monts is nearing the END of its drinking window
2010 Bonnes Mares
2009 NSG 1er Boudots
2008 GC 1er Clos St Jacques
2008 Vosne 1er Beaux Monts
Beaune (and the rest of the region) is like Disneyland for adults.
I cannot remember how specifically this has been stated on this thread but Jadot is a huge vineyard owner in Burgundy as well as a negociant. Jadot has long owned land in the Cotes de Beaune and in the 1980s bought an estate called Clair Dau with major holdings in the Cotes du Nuits. Many people have long thought that their best wines come from the vineyards they own. I cannot say I have ever really done a big study of this, but certainly some wines I have enjoyed over the years like Beaune Ursules, GC Clos St. Jacques and Corton Peugets have come from vineyards they own.
I can only speak to the 2008 Clos St Jacques, which I had once about 5 years ago. I would give it at least another few years. Haven’t had the 2009 Nuits Boudots, but in that ripe vintage it should be good (correct provenance blahblahblah) from now for another decade.

We got them directly from Jadot and they’ve been in our 55deg cellar ever since so I’d assume they’re in good shape
Anyone know whether 05 Jadot Latricieres uses negociant grapes or one of the Domaines?
