Log in / Sign up Louis Jadot Meursault 2021
The quintessence of Meursault, crisp and fine in youth with a beguiling minerality, this great wine will develop richness and complexity in bottle. 100% fermented in wooden barrels and aged for 15 months in the barrels before bottling.
The Meursault vineyards, comprising 30 percent in nine Premiers Crus and 70 percent in village vineyards, sprawl over gentle slopes, situated between 230 and 360 meters above sea level. Benefiting from an ideal eastern orientation for maximum sunlight, the chalky soils with white marl create an optimal environment for the Chardonnay grape, which exclusively defines Meursault's character.
In 2021, climatic oscillations and early frosts posed challenges, impacting grape health and yields, yet meticulous vineyard management and a favorable September allowed for a carefully timed harvest. Despite the year's shifts in weather, Meursault, nestled in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, continues to produce wines of distinctive quality, shaped by the unique terroir and enduring winemaking traditions.
Grilled lobster with garlic butter pairs well with Chardonnay, complementing its rich and buttery characteristics. Enjoy with grilled and roasted white meats, fish/shellfish, mature strong cheeses and creamy chicken and ham pie.
Louis Jadot Meursault emanates a lovely and inviting aromatic profile, characterized by a silky and creamy essence that entices the senses.
On the palate, this wine unfolds with pure, soft fruit notes complemented by subtle touches of toasted oak and vanilla, creating a juicy and balanced experience. Almond and pear nuances add complexity, capturing the essence of what a good Chardonnay can truly offer.
