Louis Jadot 2019 Montrachet

Louis Jadot's 2019 Montrachet is a majestic expression of this esteemed Grand Cru vineyard, nestled in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. With a luminous golden color that dazzles in the glass, this wine exudes an enchanting bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, including succulent pear, tangy citrus, and hints of exotic tropical fruits, all delicately interwoven with nuances of toasted almonds and a subtle touch of vanilla spice. On the palate, it reveals a sumptuous texture, both creamy and vibrant, with layers of flavor that unfold gracefully, showcasing the wine's impeccable balance and purity of fruit. Notes of honeyed apricot, zesty lemon curd, and a distinct minerality dance across the palate, leading to a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. Louis Jadot's 2019 Montrachet is a true masterpiece, capturing the essence of this legendary terroir with extraordinary precision and grace.

Robert Parker - (94-96) Points

"Aromas of buttered toast, honeyed peaches, white flowers and mint introduce the 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, layered and enveloping wine that's satiny and sumptuous, with lively acids and fine depth at the core. While I'd give the nod to the stunning Demoiselles as Jadot's best white wine this year, this Montrachet—purchased from the Chassagne-Montrachet side, from the house's usual source—is undeniably promising."

Antonio Galloni - (93-95) Points

"The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is tasked with following the stunning Chevalier-Montrachet and, to be frank, it never achieves the same degree of intensity on the nose, coming across rather conservative by comparison. The palate is well balanced with a tang of marmalade enlivening the opening. Very good weight and persistence, as you would demand from a "Monty," yet it does not possess the swagger and hubris of the superior Chevalier."
