Louis Jadot Description
This clos is not far from the village of Pernand, on calcareous, stony soil, facing east. The Croix de Pierre is a large stone cross at the entrance to the vineyard. Most of the vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir. The fruit is fermented in tanks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for about 15 months before bottling.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
This is a dense wine with great tannins and black fruits. It has concentration and ripe berry flavors, with a youthful vigor that will allow it age well. Drink this full wine from 2024.
Burghound: 91 Points
A distinctly cooler and more restrained nose reluctantly offers up a layered mix of red and dark pinot fruit that is trimmed in enough wood to warrant pointing out. There is both good volume and vibrancy to the well-detailed flavors that exude a discreet bead of minerality onto the mildly rustic finale. This too will need at least a few years of forbearance as it's presently pretty tightly wound.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A graphite edge leads off in this cherry- and raspberry-flavored red. Firm and juicy, with a mineral element lingering on the finish.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Aromas of cassis, wild berries and peony introduce the 2017 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos de la Croix de Pierre (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a medium to full-bodied wine that's ample, fleshy and succulent, with melting tannins and a nicely delineated finish.
