($22, Kobrand): This Bourgogne Rouge is a real treat from Jadot
because the grapes come entirely from the domains they control: Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Héritiers Louis Jadot, and Domaine Gagey, which explains the labeling. No purchased grapes or wine go into this bottling, which distinguishes it from Jadot’s other Bourgogne Rouge. Pinot Noir is prominently displayed on the front label–you need to look at the back to see the appellation Bourgogne. But one taste and you know it’s real Burgundy. Not a New World fruit bomb, red fruit notes and subtle herbal nuances dance across the palate. Vibrant acidity keeps it fresh throughout a meal. It would be a good choice for grilled salmon. 88 Michael Apstein Jun 26, 2012
