Louis Jadot, Domaine des Héritiers, Les Demoiselles, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, Burgundy, 2018

Drinking Window: 2024 – 2034
Maison Louis Jadot owns half of this 1.05 hectare lieu-dit that lies on the northern end of the Chevalier-Montrachet climat (Maison Louis Latour owns the other half). Typically, it is stonier and firmer with less richness compared to Montrachet itself. But Jadot’s 2018 displays a hint of butterscotch, reminiscent of Montrachet itself, alongside its characteristic minerality. It’s fabulously energetic with surprising acidity for that warm vintage. Befitting a youthful grand cru, it expands in the glass while the freshness in the finish magnifies its grandeur.
