Description

A 2012 1er cru Celebration Cuvee red wine

The Celebration Cuvee was launched in 2009 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the foundation of Maison Louis Jadot and recognise the high quality premier cru vineyards. With the release of the 2012 vintage (a year of small yields and extremely high quality), is a Celebration of Beaune's premiers crus. This blend is based on a number of different climats, whose names are featured on the front label. Matured in oak barrels for 18 months, this Beaune Premier Cru is deeply coloured, and shows notes of dark berries. Its tannins are fine grained and silky, showing the hallmark complexity and richness of Beaune's premiers crus.

Reviews:
Jadot’s 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Celebration is aromatically quite expressive, with lovely bright, floral notes that play off a core of red berry and stone fruits. The gracious, almost feminine, bouquet is alluring and suggests a wine that is quite open, but the palate sensation is completely different. Tiny yields and high skin to juice ratios yielded red Burgundies with huge tannic clout that obscures the fruit, which is exactly how the wine comes across in tasting. It will be interesting to see if the 2012 softens over time, or if it gains volume with ageing. Today, it is decidedly on the austere side of things.
