Jadot

=Background information=


 * __NOTE FROM EDITOR (DON CORNWELL__):** Jadot appears to have made a distinct change in its winemaking with respect to its whites beginning in the year 2000. As indicated below in the notes on each vintage, there is a very low incidence of premox among the Jadot wines produced in 1995, 1996 and 1999. However, beginning with the 2000 vintage, Jadot has a very significant incidence of premox. This has also been borne out in our annual vintage assessment/oxidation check dinners. One of the individuals who has participated in most of those annual dinners opened a series of 2002 and 2004 Jadot whites from his cellar and found them all oxidized. So he wrote an email to Jadot complaining. He received a response from Olivier Masmondet, Jadot's Export and Sales Director, dated December 10, 2010, stating as follows (Note the highlighted language)

"Dear Sir,

Thank you for your message. I have been informed of your comment on the Kobrand website.

It is never pleasant to get involved in such experience and I’d like to let you know that we are sorry and we feel disappointed as well.

Atypical ageing evolution has been taken extremely seriously and be assured that our winemaker is fighting it with all his weight and energy. In Burgundy, this is not our style to stand still and we are fighting this all together.


 * It is also true that consumer taste has changed and we want white wines to be ready right the way. Most of us want a white wine of 2 years to taste like a white wine of 10 years.** We truly hope that not a single producer in Burgundy will be affected by this issue again, but as you certainly have read in the press, on certain wine blogs or web site there are many causes to the Atypical ageing evolution. We all wish here in Burgundy to find the solution to it.

This is also true that wine is not perfect science.

If you find yourself in Burgundy we will be very happy to welcome you at our winery and to taste together the new vintage.

Sincerely,

Olivier

I will note for the record that Olivier Masmondet has pointed out to me that English is his second language and he states that he did not mean to suggest in the email that Jadot has changed its wine-making style to intentionally make a faster-aging wine.

From my perspective, regardless of whether Jadot intended it to happen or not, the Jadot wines from the vintage 2000 and on are radically different than their pre-2000 vintage counterparts. Prior to 2000, Jadot's oxidation performance would place it in Category V (producers who have no higher incidence of premox after 1994 than they did before.) But from vintage 2000 on, Jadot is a Category I producer and, in my opinion, has the single worst premox performance of any burgundy producer over that period. So buyer beware!

__Notes on batonnage and techniques in various vintages__: =Wines=
 * In vintage 1995: batonnage done through April of 96 and used "very low levels of free SO2."
 * In vintage 1996: per Tanzer: "In contrast to many of his colleagues, he [winemaker Jacques Lardiere] did not feel that the 1996's needed batonnage." //(Note: Jadot reported to Tanzer using ultra low free SO2 levels)//
 * In vintage 1997: Lardiere did "extensive" stirring of the lees.
 * In vintage 1998: did no batonnage.
 * In vintage 1999: per Allen Meadows, Lardiere "did a lot of work with the fine lees to enrich the wines...."
 * In vintage 2000: per Allen Meadows, Lardiere "says he did almost no batonnage (lees stirring), which is in sharp contrast to the prior vintage where he worked extensively with the lees."
 * In vintage 2001: did almost no batonnage.
 * In vintage 2002: "The resulting wines are very rich and as a consequence I elected to do less //bâtonnage//than usual but we added a bit more wood."
 * In vintage 2003: absolutley no batonnage and no M/L fermentation, although Jadot claimed not to have specifically blocked it and used more new oak than normal
 * In vintage 2004: M/L fermentation partially stopped "to retain some power. We needed to keep a bit of sharpness: this is the attractive part of the vintage."
 * The Remington Norman/Charles Taylor Third Edition of "The Great Domaines of Burgundy," published in 2010, quotes Jacques Lardiere as saying that he uses "only the lightest of sulphuring."
 * In vintage 2011: Jadot has now converted to DIAM closures in lieu of natural cork.

1986

 * **Corton** **Charlemagne** (April 2010): Certainly an older wine that was more nutty and complex than fruity but not oxidized [Howard Cooper]

1988

 * **Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles** (August 2009): completely oxidized [AT Bridge]
 * **Batard Montrachet** (Nov 2006): several bottles at a tasting - all absolutely lovely (Adrian Latimer)

1989

 * **Corton Chatlemagne** (April 2006): not oxidized; a profound wine, will last many years longer[Lewis Dawson]
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (June 2010): Not oxidized, splendid bottle, still young (Charlie)
 * **Chevalier Montrachet Demoiselles** (Mar 2015): Just lovely, showing development but not oxidation (RB Engel)

1990

 * **Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles** (14 Mar 2005): not oxidized; a great showing [David Chan]
 * **Puligny-Montrachet Les Combette** (June 2010): Not oxidized, amazing bottle (charlie)
 * **Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes** (May 2010): Not oxidized, showing a bit tired tho (charlie)

 * **Montrachet** (August 2008): not oxidized. [AT Bridge]

1992

 * **Chevalier Montrachet** (October 2007): not oxidized. [AT Bridge]
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (March 2011): not oxidized, fully mature and lovely [Ville Viinikka]

 * **Corton Charlemagne** (Jan 2013) not oxidized - super wine - in magnum (R DeAngelo)

1994

 * **Batard-Montrachet** (January 2016): Mature, but not oxidized; a Grand Cru, but just barely, open opening. After an hour, it showed the oiliness of a Montrachet, albeit with muted fruit. Still, given that I bought it at least ten years ago for $29.99 (marked down from $129.99 at Grocery Outlet in the middle of the Pacific Ocean) it was in about as good a shape as I am on my 73rd birthday. [Ralph Earle]. {WAIT -- did I really just say that I am "dull, flat and more than a bit greasy"?!?}

2000

 * **Chevalier Montrachet (regular)** (18 Jun 2007): by consensus showing the earliest signs of premature oxidation but still enjoyable for the moment. See notes of 2000 tasting [Don Cornwell]
 * **Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles** (May 2006): very evolved aromatics and soft, fraying backend indicative of 1st stage premature oxidation. Drink soon. (J. Gilman)

 * **Corton Charlemagne** (March 2008): Well on the way to oxidized. (Jim Coley)

 * **Meursault Perrieres** (5 Feb 2008): not oxidized, but the only Jadot in our three tastings that wasn't. See 2000 tasting notes [Don Cornwell]
 * **Montrachet** (18 Jun 2007): color pushing medium gold; no real off aromatics but notable toasty note on the palate that carries all the way through the finish. By consensus this was partly oxidized. See notes on 2000 tasting. [Don Cornwell]
 * **Montrachet** (Sep 2007) light yellow gold, not oxidised, but quite evolved and this could be the beginnings of oxidation [MLee]
 * **Montrachet** (26 Feb 2008): very seriously flawed and likely partially oxidized. See 2000 tasting notes [Don Cornwell]
 * **Montrachet** (Dec 2011): no signs of oxidation at all, still fresh [MLee]

 * **Puligny Referts** (August 2008): the final bottle of the case a pleasant surprise, with no oxidation [Paul Dellar]

 * **Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles** (10 June 2017): totally shot. [Nathan V.]
 * **Corton-Charlemagne** (11 Nov 2007): Tasted from many bottles at the Gala des Sommeliers de Paris. Yellow gold, evolved aromatics (butterscotch, honey, baked fruits), no or little sign of freshness (very little minerality), this seems fuly mature and overly evolved for its age. Not a good sign. [Frederic Panaiotis]
 * **Corton-Charlemagne** (Jul 2007): oxidised. Served by the glass at Peninsula in HK. The bottle had been opened about 2 hours [Stephen Williams]
 * **Criots Batard Montrachet** (Jul 2007): oxidised. Served by the glass at Peninsula in HK. The bottle had been opened about 2 hours [Stephen Williams]

 * **Chevalier Montrachet Demoisselles** (4 July 2010): Not oxidized, but clearly advanced and overly mature [Don Cornwell]
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (August 2008): Not oxidized. Outstanding wine that drinks well already. (Lewis Dawson)
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (Mar 2009): Based on advice from someone, I was told to drink these up; now I know why... slightly advanced color of med gold; more rich and buttery on the mouth than one would want for such a young grand cru; less mineral than desired; structure is still there, but I don't see a long future or improvement for this wine from here; drink up (MSaviage)
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (Mar 2009): Darker than desired color again; similar notes as last bottle; trouble is lurking here (MSaviage)
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (January 2010): dark color, premoxing but not yet fully shot, badly affected but drinkable. [Tom Reddick]
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (4 Feb 2010): partially oxidized. See 2002 Tasting Notes, Night One. [Don Cornwell]
 * **Corton Charlemagne** (23 Apr 2010): Brilliant bottle. Strong across two days. [Eric LeVine]

 * **Montrachet** (4 Mar 2010): Not oxidized and very nice. See 2002 Tasting Notes, Night Three [Don Cornwell]
 * **Montrachet** (19 May 2010): Absolutely no premox. Tight as a drum, with an immense concentration of minerals and white flowers. Extremely long and powerful, but as yet still unformed and a bit "raw". Served blind, this would lead me towards Ramonet. Should be a brilliant Montrachet in 10-15 years. I hope my other bottles are as good. [Stephen Williams]
