🏰 The 2019 vintage in Burgundy was superb, with Frédéric Barnier presiding over a small but excellent harvest at Louis Jadot, noted for its overall consistency across the range. The 2019 Louis Jadot Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru is very promising, exhibiting incipiently complex aromas of raspberries, cassis, candied peel, burning embers, and potpourri. It is followed by a medium to full-bodied, charming, and vibrant palate that's broad and enveloping, with lively acids and fine, powdery structuring tannins. Critics describe a much spicier, deeply pitched nose with aromas of poached plum, exotic tea, black cherry, and a whiff of sandalwood. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine balance and poise, with a slightly grainy texture toward a finish of modest length. While not a refined Echézeaux (examples from Les Rouges du Bas rarely are), it is imposing and offers fine development potential. This vintage is considered one of the most successful ever tasted from Louis Jadot. 【 A superb and consistent vintage, offering significant development potential 】 🍴 This Grand Cru Burgundy would be an exquisite pairing for refined dishes such as roasted squab, pan-seared duck breast with berry reduction, truffle-infused pasta, or delicate game meats. Its elegance also makes it suitable for fine cheeses like Époisses or Comté. 🥂 The 2019 Louis Jadot Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru is an ideal choice for a significant celebration, a formal dinner, or a serious tasting among Burgundy aficionados. Its complexity and aging potential make it a wine to be savored and appreciated over time. It will continue to evolve beautifully in the cellar.
