Louis Jadot Description
This 125-acre Grand Cru vineyard faces east on a range of soils, from chalky and stony clay on the higher parts of the slope to moist, rich, compact soils on the lower slope. Jadot owns just over 5 acres of the Clos. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented for up to 4 weeks in tanks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 18 months.

Cellar Selection
The five acres of vines owned by Louis Jadot in this vineyard make this rich, bold, structured wine. Floral and intensely perfumed, with ripe red berry fruit, it's ripe while maintaining the intense acidity of the vintage. With all that power comes great longevity.
James Suckling: 95 Points
So glorious with dried-strawberry and -cherry character. Medium to full body, ultra-polished and beautiful tannins and hints of stones and cedar. Very pretty and refined. Lovely length. Drink or hold.
Burghound: 93 Points
Noticeable but not dominant oak frames a restrained and impressively complex nose of earthy red currant and discreet spice elements. I very much like the textured mouth feel of the lightly mineral-inflected and notably taut full-bodied flavors that brim with sappy dry extract on the concentrated, powerful and mildly youthfully austere finish. This is a classic rendition of Clos de Vougeot that is very much built-to-age and will definitely need it too.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
A firm, dense, rigorous red, whose wild cherry and berry confit flavors are upheld by oaky tannins. This will need some time to resolve the oak, but the fruit and concentration persist. Best from 2020 through 2033.
Vinous: 91 Points
Medium red. Brooding, medicinal aromas of black cherry, licorice, menthol, fresh herbs and spices; much less expressive and floral than the Echezeaux. Juicy, delineated and tight, even a bit hard-edged, not showing the sweetness or inner-mouth floral lift of the Echezeaux but with plenty of intensity to its red berry and spice flavors. And brisk, minerally and precise on the rising finish.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Domaine Louis Jadot offers lively red cherry, crushed strawberry and white pepper notes on the nose, quite intense and thankfully retaining satisfying delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, firm grip in the mouth and a tightly wound, slightly brutish finish that needs bottle age to gain more elegance.
