Louis Jadot is a renowned Burgundy producer, established in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. The winery is renowned for its high-quality wines, and the Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is no exception. This white wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of Bâtard-Montrachet, located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being vinified in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, allowing it to develop its complex aromas and flavors.

The result is a full-bodied, elegant white wine with aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and white flowers, and flavors of honey, toast, and hazelnuts. The wine has a long, lingering finish, making it an excellent accompaniment to seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

Aromas of buttery orchard fruit, citrus zest and stone fruit mingle with hints of white flowers and freshly baked bread to introduce the 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, ample and layered wine that's taut and structured, with racy acids and fine depth at the core. This, too, shows plenty of promise.
A cuvée derived from three different sources—one in grapes, two in must—all located on the Puligny side of this large grand cru, the 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) opens in the glass with aromas of orange oil, honeycomb, buttered orchard fruit and freshly baked bread. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and muscular, rich and multidimensional, with lively underpinning acidity despite its rounded, fleshy profile.
The 2016 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a slightly richer and more generous, lightly honeyed bouquet compared to the Bienvenues, though I admire its purity and with aeration, more terroir expression becomes apparent. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry. There is a fine bead of acidity, slightly less saline than the Bienvenues but there is greater depth and puissance on the finish. Give this three or four years in bottle before broaching.
The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is much more reserved on the nose than the 2015 Bienvenues - austere, stony and stoic, gaining intensity after 5-10 minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp line of acidity, a slight bitterness on the back palate but it fans out nicely to a spicy finish, even if it does not quite have the panache of the Bienvenues at the moment.

The 2014 Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru is much more convincing and energetic on the nose compared to the Bienvenue with upfront, flinty scents storming from the glass. The palate has a touch of viscosity on the entry, predicating a powerful and broad shouldered Bâtard that is determined to make an impression, which it does. It is very well balanced, very intense and just a lovely white grand cru Burgundy.
The 2012 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a richer, more tropical-scented bouquet compared to the Bienvenue. The palate is smooth and rounded, rich and mellifluous in the mouth with a long, seductive finish that needs just a little more tension and poise. To be honest, this is out-classed by the Bienvenue.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
