Tasting Notes

A gorgeously elegant if highly restrained nose of citrus, acacia blossom and pungent wet stone aromas trimmed in just enough wood to notice is stunning. Not surprisingly, the medium-bodied flavors are much finer than those of the Bâtard or Corton-Charlemagne though not quite as big or powerful. The strikingly intense, lingering and impeccably well-balanced finish radiates minerality and the overall sense of harmony is flat out superb. A knockout, even by the incredible standards of this wine.

One of my favourite Grand Crus from Jadot, the Demoiselles delivers great precision and mineralité on the nose with granite and limestone scents. It takes you straight to those slopes in the Cote d'Or. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, touches of white peach and a hint of spice, fanning out nicely towards the finish. Tasted January 2012.

Here there is no reduction and the purity of the elegant if highly restrained nose of citrus, acacia blossom and pungent wet stone aromas is stunning. Not surprisingly, the medium-bodied flavors are much finer than those of the Bâtard or Corton-Charlemagne though not as big or powerful. The acid spine is also quite firm but somewhat better integrated as there is no obvious malic tang, all wrapped in a gorgeously intense, lingering and impeccably well-balanced finish.
