Each November I attend the Louis Jadot en-primeur tasting event where you can taste most of Jadot's upcoming release of the latest vintages, usually around 100 wines. You get the opportunity to taste them about ten months before they are released into the market and you see them when they are really youthful, fruit is typically very expressive and oak and tannins are all quite in your face, but it's a brilliant time to judge what will come. So in the list below you can see the wines I purchased each year, typically from the 100 or so Jadot put up to taste I pick about a dozen of the wines which I believe are the outstanding value from that year. In 2009 I purchased quite a few, a great vintage for both red and white Burgundy, though most of those I bought I have now either consumed or sold! 2010 was the next great vintage and I bought strong into this vintage, both red and white; the whites now we are in 2016 are coming round to drink really well, the reds are still mostly too young to enjoy. I didn't purchase more than a hint of 2011 and then in 2012 I thought many of the wines showed superbly, so bought quite a few. After tasting the 2013 vintage I decided to buy a few, it is one of those years where you just have to pick carefully, some are exceptionally good. Then came the 2014 and the whites showed really well, though I just bought a little bit of Puligny Montrachet Les Referts and Les Folatiers and some Corton Charlemagne and those will be avilable by the end of 2016. Louis Jadot is based in Beaune and was founded in 1859 and owns an amazing portfolio of the best Premier and Grand Cru vineyards with some 65 hectares of the most prized sites in Burgundy. All of the wine shown below is held in-bond at Vinotheque, in ideal storage conditions and you can buy it either in-bond and leave it with us to store or transfer it to you own bond account or as a normal retail sale and we will deliver.

	Louis Jadot Batard Montrachet Grand Cru	200909	6 × 75cl	2	£1,650	Reviews
95/100 Wine Advocate, eRobertParker.com, Sep 2011 “The 2009 Bâtard-Montrachet (from the Puligny side) is marvelously linear, textured and just plain beautiful. All of the elements come together in this striking, impeccable wine. The Bâtard blossoms on the palate with extraordinary finesse in its fruit, fabulous overall balance and terrific freshness, especially on the finish. It is breathtaking in every way. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.” 93/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sep 2011 “(from vines on the Puligny side): Quite closed on the nose, hinting at creme caramel. A step up in intensity and structure from the Bienvenue, with stone fruit and mineral flavors enlivened by bright lemony acidity. Youthfully imploded wine with terrific steely cut. Impressively taut on the long, rising finish. An excellent Bâtard that should age well.” 91-94 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Feb 2011 “A pungent array of pear, green fruit and some residual fermentation aromas makes this nose harder to read than most of the wines in the range. The suave and seductively textured flavors are quite expansive with excellent richness if not the concentration of either the Corton-Charlemagne or the Demoiselles though I do like the depth, balance and impressive length. Benefit of the doubt offered.” 17+/20 Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2011 “Slight nose, but marvellous force on the palate, and great linear acid with a long, long mineral finish and delicious tangy citrus fruit. ”
	Louis Jadot Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	2	£1,700	Reviews
93/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Sep 2017 “Deeper and riper on the nose than the Bienvenues-Bâtard, offering aromas of yellow peach, menthol, smoke and stone. Surprisingly smooth, supple and full in the mouth, with its penetrating peach fruit (Jadot buys grapes from the Puligny side of the cru) conveying an impression of solid dry extract. This wine seems almost more approachable today than the Bienvenues-Bâtard but it also has more stuffing to support aging. Finishes generous, sweet and long. Incidentally, Jadot just announced the purchase of Domaine Prieur-Brunet in July, which will give them a small additional parcel of old vines in Bâtard-Montrachet on the Chassagne side of the appellation.”
	Louis Jadot Beaune Greves Le Clos Blanc 1er Cru	201616	6 × 75cl	4	£283	Reviews
16.5/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2017 “Cask sample. Some creamy oak here to offset the piercing lemon/grapefruit freshness. Just a very slight creamy note bringing harmony to the high acidity. Well balanced on the palate too, with grapefruit zest and pith but a rounded texture. Creamy, almost chewy. (JH) ” 88-90/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Blanc was impacted by the frost so that it was cropped at just 15 hectoliters per hectare, one-third that of Bressandes Blanc. It has a pretty lime and white peach-scented bouquet with a little more detail than the Bressandes Blanc. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, here a subtle marine influence coming to play toward the finish with a touch of oyster shell on the aftertaste. Fine.”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeot 1er Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	2	£394	Reviews
90-92/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot (from the domaine side of Jadot) has a brioche-scented, slightly creamy bouquet, the oak more conspicuous than its Chassagne cousins at the moment. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, fresh and lively with quite a composed and tensile finish that feels harmonious and assured. One to watch.”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru	201313	6 × 75cl	6	£376	Reviews
90/100 Jeannie Cho Lee, LePanMedia.com, Nov 2014 “Ripe, open and beautifully composed with mixed nuts, butter and tropical fruits. Expressive and approachable and fairly long on the finish. Tasted in: Burgundy, France. Maturity: Young.” 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2014 “Pale green-gold. Very sumptuous nose. Ripe and tense and gorgeous. This is more like it! Just a hint of smoke but no deliberate move to reduction. The first of these Jadot 2013 whites with a touch of creaminess. Although it is not notably persistent.” 93/100 Stephen Tanzer, VinousMedia.com, May 2015 “(this fruit comes from three sources): Bright lemon-yellow. Subdued aromas and flavors of crushed stone, menthol, lemon-lime and pear, plus a whiff of metallic minerality. Penetrating and subtle, conveying a layered texture and lovely inner-mouth perfume and lift. Shows the richness of this stony high-altitude site, which has very little topsoil. This complex, very intense wine shows strong extract without any undue weight and will need a long time to unwind.”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Chenevottes 1er Cru	201212	6 × 75cl	2	£382	Reviews
17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Sweet start and some transparency. Really confident and beautifully balanced. Quite forward but a real charmer.”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru	201010	3 × 1.5L	2	£525	Reviews
92/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sep 2012 “Pale, bright yellow. Lemon and a whiff of apple on the nose. Then concentrated and densely packed, with harmonious acidity contributing to the impression of inner-mouth floral perfume. Finishes juicy and long, with a firm edge that will require five years of cellaring. This displays the power and thrust of the vintage.” 92/100 Wine Advocate, eRobertParker.com, Aug 2012 “In contrast, Jadot’s 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de La Chapelle, from deeper soils on the back of the Abbaye de Morgeot, possesses gorgeous depth, but it is also tightly wound and inward. Cool, saline notes dominate today, but there is more than enough fruit to allow the 2010 to develop beautifully in bottle over the coming years. The huge, textured finish leaves a lasting impression. It would be fascinating to taste both of the Jadot wines from the Abbaye de Morgeot in ten years’ time. Anticipated maturity: 2015+.” 89-91/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jun 2012 “There is good intensity to the powerful large-scaled flavors that possess a distinct malic acid tang on the energetic finish. This seems to have the richness and mid-palate concentration to eventually stand up to the firm acid spine but for the moment, the acidity has the upper hand.” 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2012 “Very full and round, ripe and easy to love. Lots of creamy appeal. Then vitality and energy on the finish. Very nice wine, but maybe not for the very long term.”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru	201212	6 × 75cl	2	£496	Reviews
91-93 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2014 “The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot -Clos de la Chapelle- comes from the 2-hectare monopole that produced around 24 barrels. It has a lovely, sensual nose with apricots and cream emerging from the glass accompanied by hints of almond. The palate is well-balanced with a clean, fresh sprightly opening: citrus lemon, orange zest and apricot that feel harmonious and beautifully focused. This is a tender, intellectual Chassagne.” 91/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sep 2014 “Bright, pale color. Reticent aromas of pear and smoke. Pliant, brisk and deep, with aromatic pear and spicy oak flavors nicely framed and lifted by lemony acidity. Finishes long and a bit phenolic but with an attractive racy quality. This vibrant, firmly structured wine will need at least a few years of bottle aging.” 86-89 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jun 2014 “Heavy sulfur aromas presently dwarf the fruit and render the nose difficult to properly evaluate. There is fine density to the powerful and suave, even opulent flavors that possess good muscle and punch though the finish is markedly bitter. However I suspect that the bitterness is linked to the sulfur as the acidity does seem adequately ripe ” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Not as expressive on the nose as the Jadot Chenevottes. A little muted but with delicate herbal notes on the palate. I don't think this would disappoint but it will take time. Appetising finish.”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	3	£440	Reviews
87-89/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle felt reduced on the nose and was therefore difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening, less tensile than the 2015 Abbaye de Morgeot, more concentrated and yet showing less delineation. Moderate length in the mouth, this is a Chassagne where I would like to see improvement by the time it is in bottle. Drink 2017 - 2026” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Monopole. Neat and nicely balanced with real freshness even if not that much density. Vegetation and polish. Quite long. Drink 2020-2028”
	Louis Jadot Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru	201616	6 × 75cl	3	£445	Reviews
17.5/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2017 “Cask sample. Not very expressive now, a little dusty but fresh cedary citrus fruit. Powerful, very fresh and really clenched together but with a core of intense, pure citrus fruit. Embryonic but lots more to come. (JH)” 93+/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “(these very old vines produced just under 30 hectoliters per hectare in 2016): Pale yellow. Pure but reticent nose hints at white peach, menthol, mint and pungent fresh herbs. A step up in power and grip from the Combettes but not quite as expansive as that wine, at least in the early going. Finishes savory, dry and long, with excellent structure and grip.”
	Louis Jadot Chevalier Montrachet Les Demoiselles Grand Cru	201111	6 × 75cl	2	£1,595	Reviews
97/100 Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Sep 2013 “Honey, almonds, white flowers and nectarines all take shape in Jadot's 2011 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles. Exotic white truffle, orange peel and spice notes appear later, adding dimensions of complexity and nuance to this pedigreed Burgundy. The flavors continue to blossom in all directions as the wine opens up in the glass. Simply put, the 2011 Demoiselles is a stunner.” 95/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sep 2013 “(this wine was in 40% new oak during the first half of its elevage): Highly nuanced nose combines wet stone, white flowers, hazelnut juice, clove, noble herbs and a whiff of vanilla. Ripe, silky and round; the deepest and most layered of these 2011s to this point but also boasts terrific lemon-and-stone energy for a wine with such a plump, generous texture. Finishes extremely long and subtle, with a repeating hint of sexy vanillin oak. A knockout.” 93-95/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Aug 2013 “An ultra-pure and high-toned nose of wet stone, spiced pear and acacia blossom and green apple is also trimmed in just enough oak to notice. The markedly stony broad-shouldered and tautly muscular flavors possess almost painful intensity on the crystalline and explosively long finish. 2011 is a vintage where the Demoiselles is bigger than it typically is yet there is absolutely no loss of refinement or elegance.” 93/100 Wine Advocate, eRobertParker.com, Aug 2013 “The 2011 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles puts the Batard in its place with lime flower, crushed stone, freshly sliced apricot and lemon peel that are beautifully defined. The palate is very well-balanced with a crisp seam of acidity. It is very tight in the mouth, not really wanting to play ball, unlike the nose, but there is certainly good length here. Very fine.”
	Louis Jadot Corton Greves Grand Cru	201616	6 × 75cl	4	£496	Reviews
17/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2017 “Cask sample. 18–20 months in French oak. Mid crimson. Relatively dark-fruited and rocky on the nose but the fruit shows its sweetness as it opens. Firm, dry and very finely textured, more chalky than chewy. This has depth and, most noticeable of all, excellent persistence. Lingers on and on in its dark, embryonic state. Balanced now and so much more to come. (JH) ” 89-91/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “Bright medium red. A bit less expressive and deep on the nose than the Pougets, dominated by medicinal dark fruits. Showing considerably less early sweetness, with the red berry and salty mineral flavors coming across as rather bit austere compared to the Pougets. Best today on the pungent, spicy, firmly tannic finish. This is from deeper soil than the Pougets.” 90-92/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Corton Grèves Grand Cru was showing quite a bit of oak on the nose but there was more than enough fruit packed behind it. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity with a subtle marine influence surfacing toward the finish that just tapers in when I want it to fan out. But this is a pretty Corton Grèves in the making.”
	Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru	201414	6 × 75cl	2	£802	Reviews
18/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2015 “Really rather reticent on the nose. Gently creamy. But the intensity is unleashed on the palate. Pure focused, cedary citrus and terrific intensity all the way to the finish. Deep and long and impressive. (JH)”
	Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru	201414	3 × 1.5L	2	£825	Reviews

	Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	6	£850	Reviews
91-93/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive nose of orange rind, lemon zest and subtle star anise aromas that become accentuated in the glass. The palate is crisp on the entry with lemon zest and orange rind, quite reserved and austere towards the finish that shows presence but needs more energy and tension. It has potential, but let's see how it turns out in bottle and see if it gains more race. Drink 2019 - 2030” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Heady, almondy nose. Savoury finish and a fine attempt. A little more astringent than many but not too sweet. Falls away a little on the end. Drink 2024 - 2032”
	Louis Jadot Domaine Gagey Beaune Les Bressandes 1er Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	7	£278	Reviews
84-86/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes felt a little basic and too primal on the nose, somewhat anonymous after some of Jadot's other 2015 whites. The palate is well balanced with simple, lightly honeyed fruit, moderate acidity, but again the finish does not have much to say, does not quite get a grip of this fine vineyard. Let's see if it meliorates by the time of bottling.”
	Louis Jadot Meursault Blagny 1er Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	4	£450	Reviews
87-89/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Meursault Blagny has an unapologetically tropical-driven bouquet with pineapple and mango to the fore, a generous dab of honey ramming home the point. The palate is balanced with good acidity, quite linear and feels just a little muted on the finish, as if it wants to leave the aromatics to do all the talking. Give it 2-3 years in bottle. Drink 2018 - 2024” 16/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Textured with a bit of a green streak. Fresher than many Jadot whites. Drink 2021 - 2027”
	Louis Jadot Meursault Charmes 1er Cru	201212	6 × 75cl	1	£595	Reviews
89-91/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jun 2014 “There is a trace of exoticism to the pungent combination of wood toast, dried yellow fruit aromas and hints of SO2. The mid-palate of the medium-bodied flavors displays plenty of concentration as well as a sleek muscularity on the very dry, linear and lingering finish where the wood suggested by the nose resurfaces. This is a robust and powerful example of the appellation that will clearly benefit from a few years of cellaring before it will drink well.” 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2014 “Actually, the acidity overrides the charm at this point. This is clearly made for the long term. It's a little more open and broad than the Tillets but it's playing its cards close to its chest. Very well judged. Drink 2015-2021??” 87-89/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2013 “The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes has an attractive lifted nose, a little leesy at the moment with a spicy core developing in the glass. The palate is nicely balanced with a rounded, generous, quite rich opening - very charming as the name suggest, though I would like more minerality to be in situ toward the finish.”
	Louis Jadot Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru	201515	6 × 75cl	4	£525	Reviews
90/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Sep 2017 “Bright light yellow. Subtle scents of pineapple, peach and crushed stone. Very ripe, even a bit exotic, conveying a slightly aggressive quality and some warmth to its pineapple and lichee flavors. Broad and lively but doesn't have quite the definition or thrust of the Genevrières--or the balance. Incidentally, as of 2016 this will be an estate bottling as Jadot bought the vineyard; previously they worked with purchased juice.”
	Louis Jadot Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru	201616	6 × 75cl	4	£490	Reviews
87-89/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is the first vintage that is domaine, as Jadot now owns the vineyard instead of buying in the fruit. It has a straightforward bouquet with lime flower, smoke and walnut coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with good acidity, quite rich in style although I am seeking more stoniness, more mineralité to come through on the finish and define it as a Perrières. This is one where I feel it might have been better to pick a day or two earlier.” 92/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “(2016 was the first year the Jadot team farmed this plot; the yield was full in 2016, as in Narvaux and other high sites in the village, noted Barnier; two of the five barrels were new): Bright lemon-yellow. Less fruity and floral on the nose than the Genevrières, hinting at almond and spicy oak. Then concentrated and harmonious in the mouth, showing a ripe pineapple flavor and a seductive balance of sweetness and acidity. The salty, palate-saturating finish boasts sneaky length and lift. This wine comes across as a bit riper than the Charmes, and will rely as much on its mineral underpinning as on its acidity for longevity. Barnier told me that the Jadot team will force the vines' roots deeper over the next several years in search of greater minerality.”
	Louis Jadot Meursault Porusot 1er Cru	201616	6 × 75cl	4	£460	Reviews
89+/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “Bright yellow. Pure but reticent aromas of white peach and minerals come across as a bit riper than the Blagny. A step up in texture too, but still quite dry and salty, showing very good lemony cut and a tactile, salty aftertaste. Barnier blocked 80% of the malolactic fermentation here, noting that these vines often ripen quickly and can produce fatter wines than he likes. This rather austere Meursault displays a tactile, salty aftertaste with a faint stony edge. I'd give it at least two or three years of cellaring before pulling the cork.” 17/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2017 “Cask sample. Richly creamy on the nose, definite oak presence and a touch of clementine that for me is classic Meursault. Deep, mildly chewy and very fresh. Depth and length. Chewy and satisfying. (JH) ”
	Louis Jadot Puligny Montrachet Domaine du Duc de Magenta Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru	201212	6 × 75cl	2	£595	Reviews
91/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sep 2014 “(from 80-year-old vines; Jadot purchases juice): Bright yellow. Mirabelle and lemon aromas are accented by a minty nuance. Boasts very good juicy lift to its lemon and peach flavors but less richness and extract than the Folatieres; there was more juice in the Clos de la Garenne grapes, noted Barnier. I like the balance and the vivacity of fruit here. (There's no Pucelles in 2012 as the grower would not give up the fruit).” 89-92/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jun 2014 “An elegantly layered and cool nose features aromas of lemon peel, white flowers and spiced pear. There is a really lovely texture to the solidly constructed and concentrated middle weight flavors that display ample minerality on the citrus-inflected and dry but not especially austere finish. The inherent class of Puligny is on display here.” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Solid, bullseye stuff. Perhaps not as intricate as some but no one would be disappointed. A solid bet.”

16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2014 “Pale straw. Really quite heady. Broad and fun with a deep undertow of ripe fruit. Some grapefruit character and more immediate fun than many.” 90/100 Stephen Tanzer, VinousMedia.com, Sep 2015 “Straw-yellow. Peach, apple, pear and clove on the nose; cooler than the Meursault cuvées. Juicy and intense, offering sharply delineated, mineral-driven orchard fruit flavors. This wiry high-altitude wine is a bit austere on the back end.”

16.5/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2015 “Within all the delicious creamy aroma there’s a light note of blossom and pear. Delicately fresh with a fine mineral quality. Tight and still creamy but a tiny bit dilute on the mid palate so that the finish is just moderate. (JH)”

The palate is fresh on the entry with a keen thread of acidity, nicely balanced with a harmonious and focused finish. This is worth looking out for, once in bottle. Drink 2017 - 2026” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Intense liquorice nose. Then excellent acidity. Still very youthful and the two aspects are not yet married, but this almost tastes acidified, the acid is so marked!”

91-93/100 Wine Advocate, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2013 “The 2012 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres comes from vines on the upper reaches of the climat, just 50-meters from Chevalier-Montrachet. It has a very refined bouquet with subtle mineral scents, smoke and some pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with a fine line of acidity that neatly counterbalances the rounded, rich, lightly honeyed fruit, leaving the finish voluminous and satisfying. Excellent.” 17.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Very lifted, 'spiny' nose. Excellent palate weight without any heaviness. Sweetness and acidity seem well married. Such a charmer with some herbal notes. Really lovely wine with great energy. Long and neat. Drink 2015 to 2021”

The palate is crisp on the entry with vibrant acidity, well balanced with orange zest and a touch of tangy marmalade lending complexity on the taut and focused finish. Excellent - this is one of Jadot's best whites this vintage. Drink 2018 - 2028”

17.5/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2015 “Oak a little more evident on the nose than on the Chassagne La Romanée. More cedary. Likewise on the palate, a little aggressive in its cedary character but there’s still deep fruit here to balance in time. Firm and savoury on the finish. Lovely wine but needs time. (JH)”

88-90/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts was more austere than the Puligny La Garenne on the nose and needed more coaxing before it offered pleasant, if not riveting grass-clipping and granite aromas. The palate is smooth on the entry with spicy citrus fruit, though I discern more mineralité and tension coming through on the La Garenne at this moment. Let's see how it plays out once in bottle. Drink 2018 - 2027” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. This seems to have better balance than most Jadot whites (no MLF apparently) with some real freshness as well as luscious fruit. Still lots to chew on, but it has energy.”

17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Dec 2015 “Debut vintage, decanted well in advance. A blend of 80-85% Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc, whose fresh, leafy aroma made itself felt on the finish. Excellent, deep vibrant purplish crimson. Very intense with the exceptional clarity and intensity of a high-elevation wine like Ribera del Duero. Sumptuous nose but on the palate the acidity is evident with some extremely soft tannins. Very persistent and impressive. Not sweet but very good. ” 94/100 John Stimfig, Decanter.com, Jul 2016 “Ao Yun 2013 A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, this is a bold, dramatic and compelling debut wine from winemaker Maxence Dulou. Particularly impressive is the strong sense and imprint of place which is partially revealed…”

17.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2014 “Meaty nose with a strong cassis streak. Opulent and mildly inky. Lots of pleasure here. Masses of ripe fruit distracts from tannin.” 91+/100 Stephen Tanzer, VinousMedia.com, Jun 2013 “Good deep red. Lively aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and flowers. Gripping and energetic, with captivating flowers and spices lifting the medicinal dark berry, licorice and mineral flavors. More intense than usual for this property: the tannins are serious but suave and this very youthful wine appears to have the density of material for two or three decades of evolution in bottle. It may well ultimately merit a higher score.” 94/100 Robert Parker, eRobertParker.com, Feb 2013 “Showing better from bottle than it did from barrel, where it was also impressive, but not quite at this level, the 2010 Beychevelle displays sweet black currant, black cherry, foresty notes, medium to full-bodied texture with impressive purity and moderately high tannins (although they’ve softened considerably during the wine’s upbringing in barrel). Layered and rich for a Beychevelle, this wine should easily withstand three decades of cellaring. I would give it another 3-4 years of bottle age, but this is a fabulous effort from the first chateau one sees upon entering the appellation of St.-Julien.”

98/100 James Suckling , JamesSuckling.com, Jul 2015 “There’s clarity and beauty to this wine as always with pure dark berry, stones and spices. Some clove too. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long finish. Pure and precise wine with so much class. Try in 2020.” 18/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2014 “Very healthy deep crimson. Luscious fruit. Very beguiling. Spreads right across the palate. Extremely seductive. Just slightly inky on the finish at the moment but there is masses of ripe fruit and tannin here.” 95/100 Roger Voss, WineEnthusiast.com, May 2013 “This is a complex and rich wine dominated by superripe fruit. It is a wine of extremes, of fruit, of dark tannins allied to some bitterness from the black chocolate extract. Ripe plums and sweet black fruits are given a lift at the end with bright acidity.”

85-87/100 Antonio Galloni MW, VinousMedia.com, Apr 2014 “The 2013 Echo de Lynch-Bages is an absolutely delicious, entry-level wine bursting with sweet red fruit. Sweet floral notes add silkiness on the supple finish. This tasty, bistro-style red will be at its most expressive in its youth. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot.”

17.5/20 Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Potent blackcurrant and nettle scent. Loads of fruit power, but a savoury structure and high acidity that suggests Bordeaux. Long, firm tannins on the finish too – this is a serious, stately wine made generous by a ripe vintage. ” 96/100 Roger Voss, WineEnthusiast.com, Feb 2012 “A dense, immense, solidly powerful wine. The ripest fruit overflows, paralleling the dark, solid tannins. As so often, Lynch-Bages is a blockbuster, dark and concentrated, with immense aging potential.” 98/100 Robert Parker, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2011 “Performing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, this appears to be the finest Lynch Bages since the 2000, 1990 and 1989. According to the chateau, the 2009 has the highest level of polyphenols ever measured as well as high alcohol (nearly 13.5%). A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest largely Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it is an expressive, voluptuously textured effort with unctuosity and powerful, juicy, succulent blackberry and black currant flavors, low acids, a layered, massive mouthfeel, but no sense of heaviness or fatigue. This exquisite Lynch Bages should drink well for 30+ years.”

Gorgeous and moreish, with the concentration to develop much further. (RH)” 92+/100 Stephen Tanzer, VinousMedia.com, Jul 2013 “Bright ruby-red. Classic Pauillac aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry, menthol, minerals and licorice lifted by a violet topnote. Intensely flavored and sharply delineated, with terrific fruit intensity to support its very bright acidity. This firmly structured, gripping wine is a bit dominated by its serious tannic spine today, but the dark berry fruit gained dramatically in creaminess with some time in the glass. Potentially one of the best vintages for this large property in many years.” 96/100 Robert Parker, eRobertParker.com, Feb 2013 “Showing better from bottle than it did from barrel, where it was also impressive, but not quite at this level, the 2010 Beychevelle displays sweet black currant, black cherry, foresty notes, medium to full-bodied texture with impressive purity and moderately high tannins (although they’ve softened considerably during the wine’s upbringing in barrel).

It is juicy and perfumed, while the tannic structure and wood flavors are enveloped by the fruits. Drink from 2020.” 92/100 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, Feb 2016 “Aromas of blackberry, black currant and flowers. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Extremely well done for the vintage. Drink or hold.” 93/100 Antonio Galloni MW, VinousMedia.com, Apr 2014 “The 2013 Lynch-Bages is unusual but also quite pretty. In this vintage the flavors are quite dark, with distinct dark red/purplish overtones. Dried flowers, cloves and sage are some of the notes that develop with time in the glass. The 2013 finishes with lovely length and precision. The blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.”

Drink or hold.” 17.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “From the Olivo vineyard and 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano. Not quite as intense a crimson as the Graciano.

91-93/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Apr 2014 “This is also notably cool and pure with a bit more complexity to the array of red and blue Pinot fruit suffused nose where floral and wet stone nuances add breadth. Like any number of the wines in the range the supporting tannins are quite fine and this is particularly true within the context of a more robust appellation like Les Baudes. There is excellent intensity to the muscular but sleek flavors and finish that displays fine persistence.” 90-92/100 Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Jan 2014 “The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes stands out from the rest of this range of Chambolles for its rich, broad-shouldered personality. Savory herbs, licorice, new leather and black fruit inform a Chambolle laced with elements of structure and power that recall Bonnes-Mares, which lies just below. Savory herbs, licorice, new leather and black fruit linger on the firm, tannic finish.” 90-92/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Jan 2014 “Dark red. Ripe, brooding aromas of smoky soil and roasted herbs with fruit in the background reminded me of Bonnes-Mares. Quite backward and restrained in the middle palate, but with a sappy quality to the black cherry, saline and herb flavors. Best today on the serious finish, which features round, ripe, fine-grained tannins and noteworthy building length. This will need time to reveal its personality.” 17.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Juicy and haunting nose. Lots of fruit before the structure. Very beguiling. Complete. Long.”

87-89/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes, which comes under the Domaine Gagey label, has a vibrant and fresh, rose petal-scented bouquet with plenty of Morello cherry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, good tension even if it is just missing some complexity toward the finish, as if running out of ideas two-thirds of the way through.” 91-93/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “(90% of a normal crop): Healthy dark red. Lively, precise aromas of dark raspberry, herbs, brown spices and red licorice. A saline, sappy wine with lovely flavor depth and intensity; possesses plenty of medicinal reserve but this is already much sweeter, saltier and showier than the Sentiers. Finishing notes of fruits, flowers and spices blow past the round, dusty tannins on the resounding finish. No dilution here! This premier cru stains the palate without leaving any impression of heaviness.”

96/100 Antonio Galloni MW, VinousMedia.com, Feb 2012 “The 2010 Chapelle-Chambertin is dark and brooding. Cool, mineral notes lead to slate, black cherries, tar and licorice. This is a decidedly muscular, intense Burgundy with tons of density and power enshrouded by statuesque tannins. The sheer power and intensity suggest the Chapelle will require considerable patience. This big, dramatic wine is built for the cellar, but it is without question a showstopper, even today.”

93-95/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an open red cherry, crushed strawberry and sea spray-scented bouquet that perhaps does not quite have the complexity, nor the intrigue of the Mazis-Chambertin at this stage. The palate is refined with grippy tannin and a commendable sense of energy and tension. The salinity comes through on the finish and lends this grand cru fine sappiness, urging you back for another sip. For those with patience...” 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Good fruit density underneath and some polish but still very much a work in progress.

The tannins are super-fine and the freshness is there but the density is less than I might have expected in the middle. (JH) ” 93-95/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very well-defined bouquet, a melange of red and black fruit, truffle and smoke gently unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, quite tensile and focused but very precise and fanning out with confidence on the tender finish. As good, if not better than, the 2015 Chapelle-Chambertin from Jadot.”

The palate is sweet and precocious on the entry with brown spices infusing the red cherry fruit, although I found the new oak a little conspicuous towards the finish. I would look for more refinement once this grand cru is in bottle.”

92-94/100 Neal Martin, ERobertParker.com, Dec 2016 “The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a voluminous and extravagant bouquet with blooms of red berry fruit, although I found myself more drawn to the complex and intellectual Clos Saint-Denis. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. This is a masculine, assertive Clos de la Roche, quite saline in the mouth with a feisty, spicy finish. This is a fine grand cru from Louis Jadot, though not one of their top releases this vintage. Drink 2019 - 2035” 17+/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Pure, bright crimson. Racy ripe fruit – almost doesn’t try! Not one of the most concentrated, but impressive in a hands-off way. Lots of juice. Just the finish is a bit less distinct and long than some. Drink 2028 - 2042”

92-95/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Apr 2017 “Note: from 90+ year old vines that are worked by horse Here the generous wood treatment is borderline intrusive as the menthol element all but dominates the markedly spicy and ripe dark berry fruit aromas. The medium-bodied flavors are even richer than those of the Clos de la Roche and more refined as well though, as one might reasonably expect, less powerful before culminating in a highly seductive and strikingly complex finale. This beauty isn't quite as structured but it should have no difficulty rewarding from 15 to 20 years of bottle age.”
	Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru	201010	6 × 75cl	3	£795	Reviews
91-94/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Feb 2012 “The exceptional freshness of the 2010 vintage is more than apparent here with a restrained and cool nose of intensely earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas that also display forest floor and humus notes. There is outstanding concentration to the extract-rich broad-shouldered flavors that display plenty of power and muscle on the impressively persistent finish. This is a big wine yet it carries its size and weight effortlessly in large part because of the fine mid-palate concentration and relatively fine grain of the tannins.” 92-94/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Feb 2012 “Good full red. Rather hermetic, reduced nose hints at black cherry and botanical herbs. Extremely rich but closed, with a medicinal reserve to the black cherry, menthol and pepper flavors. Best today on the very long, strong finish, where the youthful tannins grab the palate and don't let go. This will need extended cellaring.” 91-93/100 Wine Advocate, eRobertParker.com, Feb 2012 “The 2010 Clos Vougeot bursts onto the palate with a rush of dark red fruit. This is another wine that had a very slow malolactic fermentation (at the time of this tasting there was a portion of the wine still finishing its malo). The 2010 needs time to find its balance but the raw materials are superb.” 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2011 “Dark crimson. A little severe. Chewy – very chewy – quite dry! Not convincing at the moment, as though the fruit has been sucked out of this wine. Malo finished relatively recently.”

89-91 Antonio Galloni MW, VinousMedia.com, Feb 2012 “The 2010 Beaune Boucherottes, from a parcel on the lower part of the hill, emerges from the glass with sweet roses, red cherries, raspberries and white flowers. This is a relatively bright, focused style that shows the more feminine side of Beaune. Clean mineral notes give the finish an attractive element of pure energy. The Boucherottes should drink well upon release.” 16/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2011 “Pale ruby. Pale rim. Very open and a bit lacking in focus. Extraordinarily fruity on the palate. Pretty but difficult to see any use racing over this. Slightly bitter cough-sweet flavour on the finish.”

90-93 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Apr 2014 “This is aromatically quite similar to the Boucherottes with perhaps just a bit more floral influence. The mouth feel is also comparable because while there is excellent volume and intensity, the texture of the medium-bodied flavors is notably refined, all wrapped in a moderately austere, concentrated and driving finish. This is an interesting exercise in contrasts with a polished mid-palate juxtaposing against a robust, serious and old school finish. This will require ample patience.” 92-94 Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Jan 2014 “The 2012 Beaune Clos des Ursules is the most lifted and refined of the Beaune 1er Crus from Jadot. Sweet raspberries, tobacco, freshly cut flowers, mint and cinnamon meld together gracefully in the glass. The Ursules is distinguished from the other Beaunes by its silky tannins and fabulous length. There is plenty of richness in the glass, but without the excess weight or extraction found in some of the other wines.” 91-93 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2013 “The 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules is one of their premier holdings with a propensity to age with class. It has a fragrant, more floral bouquet with fine delineation - perhaps more feminine than the other Beaune premier crus. The palate is ripe and generous on the entry. This has good substance and breeding, the quality of the terroir really coming through on the persuasive finish that lingers long in the mouth. This Clos des Ursules is brimming over with confidence and class. Bravo!” 17.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Smudgy crimson. Heady sweetness. Really exciting depths to this. Very serious. Racy, punchy and super clean and bracing on the finish. Impressively persistent.”

Barnier noted that he probably won't bottle the "serious" 2015s until May.”

Dry textured but with juicy fruit at the core. (JH) ” 89-92/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “Good dark red. Aromas of cherry and flowers are complemented by a hint of mocha. Plusher in texture than the Bressandes but also with good reserve to its flavors of dark cherry and menthol. Turns more imploded and medicinal on the back half, ultimately finishing with a firm tannic spine. This solidly structured wine is a bit less sweet and floral than the Bressandes and more dominated by soil tones in the early going.” 91-93/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules has a refined bouquet, probably the most mineral driven of the three Beaune premier crus under the "Domaine des Héritiers Jadot" label. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, an insistent grip in the mouth, more black fruit surfacing toward the structured, saline, marine-influenced finish. Excellent.”

92-94/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2017 “Bright dark red. A bit more medicinal and darker in its fruit character than the Grèves, with complicating notes of clove and minerals on the nose. Terrific soil-driven wine with lovely vinosity and depth to its raspberry, spice and saline mineral flavors. The hill of Corton can easily overproduce, noted Frédéric Barnier, and these vines benefited from relatively low production of 33 hectoliters per hectare in 2015 "from Nature." This silky, very concentrated wine finishes long and spicy, with earthy low tones as well as alluring floral lift. Should turn out to be an outstanding vintage for this grand cru.”

The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, rounded and velvety in texture, gently building to an assured finish. If it can muster a notch more precision on the nose, then it may well deserve a higher evaluation, but it remains a very delicious and enticing prospect. Drink 2020 - 2045” 17.5+/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2016 “Tank sample. Bright crimson. Nose seems more evolved than some, with some meat and two veg on the nose and very smooth tannins. Rather relaxed and glamorous somehow. Just a bit astringent on the end at present.

Pure, vibrant aromas of black raspberry, minerals, licorice and crushed stone. In a distinctly juicy, stony style with brisk hints of mint and licorice. Tight and firmly tannic on the finish, but with good lingering fruit and surprising breadth. This will need time in bottle.”

Linctus-like red-fruit aroma with a light herbal note as if there were some whole-bunch in here (but I think not). A little dilute on the palate so it’s a bit dry on the finish. (JH) ” 87-89/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 2018 “Medium red. Aromas of musky redcurrant, cherry and coffee, plus an element of spicy oak. Medicinal cherry and spice flavors show good energy but modest flesh. Some oak tannins may be accentuating the skin tannins here. Frédéric Barnier noted that vineyards on the north side of Beaune were generally more frosted (Jadot made only tiny quantities of Cent-Vignes and Toussaints), but that there was also no Aigrots in 2016.” 88-90/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Aux Cras has a fragrant and floral bouquet with rose petal and peony scents infusing the red cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy mouthfeel, softer than the other premier cru Beaunes this vintage with an appealing, sorbet-fresh finish. Enjoy this Beaune premier cru in its youth after a couple of years.”

There is excellent richness to the mouth coating big-bodied flavors that brim with plenty of dry extract as well as solid power and muscle on the gorgeously long finale. This is at present very serious and while not rustic it's clear that this will require plenty of cellaring. Drink: 2027+” 93-95/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2013 “The 2012 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is more mild-mannered and serious on the nose when compared to the Echezeaux - poker-faced black fruit hand in hand with tertiary aromas. The palate is very refined with silky smooth tannins. This is very harmonious with impressive weight and sensuality towards the finish that fans out with more precision and grace than the Echezeaux, retaining tight control at every moment. Excellent.” 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Bright mid crimson. Bitter red cherry nose. Not immediately obvious that this is a grand cru; it seems just a little spindly.

92-95/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Apr 2014 “A beautifully complex and airy nose features ripe aromas of exuberantly spicy plum, violet, sauvage and essence of red currant. There is a very round and velvety mouth feel to the delicious medium weight flavors that somehow manage to retain a good sense of delineation and energy on the overtly mineral-inflected and wonderfully long finish. I very much like the sense of harmony where the fine-grained tannins add to that impression. This should be excellent in time though note that it will require a minimum of 10 years of cellar time before this is approachable and another 5 to 7 before it arrives at its peak.” 92-94/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Feb 2014 “Bright dark red. Deep aromas of black cherry and chocolatey torrefaction show an almost candied ripeness. Broad, sweet and large-scaled, with a saline quality and impressive medicinal reserve to the floral and spice flavors. A rather powerful and ripe yet sappy Clos Saint-Jacques with a slowly mounting, seamless, horizontal finish featuring big, ripe tannins and terrific tactile length. As impressive as this is, it shows the vintage more than the cru today.” 93-95/100 Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Jan 2014 “One of the highlights of the range this year, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques is utterly magnificent. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and violet notes flesh out in a voluptuous, racy Burgundy endowed with stunning depth and pure pedigree. With time in the glass the flavors flesh out beautifully. The Clos Saint-Jacques is voluptuous and supple, yet also backed up by plenty of structure. Drinking window: 2022 - 2042” 92-94/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, Dec 2013 “The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques has a fragrant bouquet: floral at first with touches of violet, later revealing a stony scents, hints of chalk dust and flint surfacing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and impressive focus. It feels composed in the mouth with good matiere, yet it remains sophisticated and tense right to the finish. There is nothing flash here, just pure quality.” 19/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2013 “Such exciting intensity and purity. It's just lovely! Depth plus transparency and raciness. No surprise it has an 'Allocation Exhausted' sign on the bottle. Long and pure. What burgundy is all about. You really could, but should not, drink this now.”
	Louis Jadot Gevrey Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru	201616	6 × 75cl	2	£534	Reviews
17/20 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2017 “Cask sample. 15 months in French oak. Mid crimson. Dark fruited and withheld; extremely elegant on the palate and all in harmony already. Dry finesse to the texture with the juicy fruit seeming out round the edges. Supple and persistent and greater beauty to come. (JH) ” 92-94/100 Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, Dec 2017 “The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers has a very detailed and perfumed bouquet that delivers layers of mineral-driven red berry fruit that really translate the terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good substance, a little oaky toward the finish but that will be subsumed to leave you with a fine Cazetiers that may surpass the 2015. Superb.”

	Louis Jadot Volnay Clos de la Barre Monopole 1er Cru	201010	6 × 75cl	2	£400	Reviews
90-93/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Apr 2012 “This is aromatically similar to the Clos des Chênes but with a touch of menthol. The suave, round and utterly delicious flavors are shaped by relatively fine tannins and plenty of sappy dry extract yet the finish is exceptionally firm, intense and highly persistent finish, that is at present overtly austere. Somewhat curiously, this is not quite as refined as the Clos des Chênes and is actually on the robust side at present. Note further that this will require a very long cellar snooze before it is completely ready for prime time."” 90-93/100 Wine Advocate, eRobertParker.com, Feb 2012 “The 2010 Volnay Clos de la Barre is a huge, implosive wine loaded with fruit. This explosive Volnay bursts onto the palate with black cherries, tar, licorice, smoke and incense. The aromas and flavors take on a decidedly exotic quality as the wine sits in the glass. This is another wine with a bright future. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.” 17/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Nov 2011 “Mid ruby. Scented and subtle on the nose. Very firm and fine with great precision. Great line of fruit, most impressive. Real delineation.”
	Opus One	201313	6 × 75cl	2	£1,996	Reviews
100/100 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, Jan 2016 “The greatest Opus ever. Terrific aromas of crushed black currants, blueberries and flowers with hints of sweet tobacco. Roses continue to exude opulence and class. Full body, superb balance of ultra-fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Complex aftertaste of black fruits and citrus fruit. Extremely persistent. So approachable now and enjoyable. But will be even better in 2019 and beyond. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot, 6% petit verdot, 2% malbec. This will always be beautiful to drink.”

97/100 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, Jul 2016 “Complex aromas of blueberry, rose petal, licorice, and currant. Full body, ultra fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Balanced and very refined. A wonderful purity and beauty. Give it three to four years to come together but already a beauty. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 16% carmenere, 11% malbec, 8% merlot and 5% petit verdot.”

98/100 James Suckling , JamesSuckling.com, Mar 2018 “Aromas are lifted and bright in this wine with loads of blackberries and blueberries. Full body, velvety tannins. Gorgeous texture. Very pure fruit. A bright and more fundamental Seña than last vintages. Restrained at the end. 55% cabernet, 20% malbec, 12% petit verdot, 8% carmenere, 5% cabernet franc. September 2018 release. Needs three or four years of bottle age.”

100/100 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, Nov 2016 “This is a wine that simultaneously defines elegance and power. Complex aromas of blueberry, black currant, and black licorice. Full-body yet refined and beautiful with stunning length and complexity. It has a transparency that shows such greatness and beauty. Half the normal production. Has an energy and brightness. Chile's first perfect wine and well deserved. Better in 2020.”
