2020 Maison Louis Jadot Savigny-les-Beaune Rouge 1er Cru Les Vergelesses

2020 Maison Louis Jadot Savigny-les-Beaune Rouge 1er Cru Les Vergelesses The nose is intense, tall, but really complex. Just like on the earthy palate, with some blood orange and red berries.

92-94 Points! The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode (Domaine Louis Jadot) is excellent, offering up aromas of raspberries and plums mingled with sweet spices, woodsmoke and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, penetrating finish, it’s seamless and complete. It’s another fine rendition of a cuvée that’s regularly among the domaine’s high points. WilliamKelley robertparker.com

The commune of Savigny-lès-Beaune is in the north of the Côte de Beaune and produces 90% red wines. Les Vergelesses is located on the sloping hillside of Bois Noël, near the Pernand vineyards, facing south on light, well-draining soils. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in vats for up to 4 weeks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 12 to 15 months before bottling.

Louis Jadot’s greatest presence is in the Côte de Beaune, and this can be seen clearly in the house’s 50 Premiers Crus from the region.
