Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru 2014 - Louis Jadot
Grande Maison de Bourgogne
96/100 Parker
Cellaring potential: Now to 2045.
Tasted by Neal Martin on 31 October 2017: 'Louis Jadot's 2014 Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Gagey) has a very subtle and refined bouquet of pure red fruit, minerals, rose petals and orange blossom - one of the most enchanting aromas of the vintage. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly acidic entry, driven by acidity but with enough fruit just underneath. It unfolds gloriously on the finish and leaves you wanting more. Quite simply, this is one of the best wines from this grand cru vineyard."

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
Gevrey Chambertin is located in the north of the Côte de Nuits. This village has 26 Premier Crus and 8 Grand Crus. Half of the premiers crus surround the grands crus (towards Morey), the other half is to the north towards the Combe de Lavaux, with limestone and clay soils. The Grands Crus of Gevrey Chambertin are situated on a gentle slope facing east in the southern part of the commune. The soil is chalky at depth and clayey on the surface, which gives the wines both their power and their roundness.
VINIFICATION AND MATURING
The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The grapes are then carefully sorted by hand and destemmed. Maceration of the grapes takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The vats are pumped over twice a day during fermentation. The wine is aged for about 18 months in barrels from our cooperage, about a third of which are new.
