Louis Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 1989 750ml

Maison Louis Jadot, founded in Beaune in 1859, is one of Burgundy's great négociant-growers, with holdings across the Côte d'Or's grand crus. Chapelle-Chambertin is a small grand cru in Gevrey-Chambertin, lying just below Clos de Bèze, and its Pinot Noir is prized for finesse and perfume rather than sheer power. The 1989 vintage followed a warm, early growing season and produced ripe, charming red Burgundies. After more than three decades, a bottle like this should show mature dried cherry, forest floor, leather, truffle and sweet spice. Drink it now; stand the bottle upright for a day before opening and decant carefully off its sediment.
