Pinot Noir Bourgogne 2019
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Louis Jadot has recently completed a winery dedicated exclusively to the production of its Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Jadot’s numerous long-term relationships with wine growers guarantee that the highest-quality fruit is sourced every year from vineyards across the Burgundy appellation. To further elevate the quality, Jadot practices réplis, or declassifying some wines of higher appellations, which are added to the final blend.
Harvest Note
The Bourgogne region of France experienced very extreme weather during the 2019 harvest. With three major hail storms along with temperatures exceeding 104°F, the vines saw both sides of the spectrum. Despite the conditions, the yield was generally healthy and shows strong characteristics with great quality. With intense fruit and fresh flavors, winemakers are very pleased with the end result of this vintage.
Tasting Note
Purple hue with violet glints. This vintage has intense aromas of red and black fruits (cherries, blackberries). Tannins are well integrated and supported by a vibrant freshness in the finish. It is enjoyable in its youth for its vivid red fruit yet will easily age for 5 years to reveal more subtle floral and spice tones.
