Vinous

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with scents of lemon and orange zest, pralines and crushed stone (somehow it reminds me of lemon drizzle cake!) The palate is fresh and taut on the entry, delivering impressive depth, good salinity in the mouth and a spicy, harmonious finish that lingers. There is a lovely crescendo of intensity in this Grand Cru. Superb. 11/2019

Inside Burgundy

Lemon and lime colour. Energy on the nose, broadening out. This too has a wealth of white fruit with a floral topnote and some citrus round the edges. Fills the middle of the palate and is persistent at the finish, leaving a very pleasing aftertaste. Just the right balance of sensuality and precision. Clearly still a huge amount more to develop with extra ageing. DIAM 30 closure. Tasted May 2022.

Revisited from bottle, the 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Les Demoiselles (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reserved and oak-inflected bouquet of citrus oil, white flowers, Anjou pear, toasted almonds and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with terrific mid-palate amplitude and bright acids, it's long and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwatering, mineral finish. Like all of Jadot's whites, it was bottled under Diam. In 2019, I reported on over 120 different 2018 Burgundies from Louis Jadot. As I wrote then, Jadot's Frédéric Barnier was optimistic about the reds from the beginning, but, he said, "We worked hard with the white wines—blocking a lot of malolactic—to make them fresh and lively." Revisiting an extensive range from bottle in my office in the United States, I was gratified to find the wines just as consistent as they had shown in barrel. The accompanying tasting notes record my impressions in detail. 04/2021
