Louis Jadot : Bonnes-Mares Grand cru 2020

The wine is massive, with grippy tannins, full body and an interminable finish. “A great vintage to taste in 20 years,” according to winemaker Frédéric Barnier. The 0.27ha Jadot parcel (owned by the house itself) lies on a strip that runs from the top of the vineyard to the bottom, and thus includes both terres blanches (white marl) and terres rouges (red clay). The fruit character is black plum and cassis, with a firm, mineral and earthy element.

Powerful and complex, certainly far from its peak, but somewhat overshadowed by the beauty of the aromas of Les Amoureuses.
