Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Anniversary 2020

The ‘Celebration’ cuvée is a hugely popular blend of Jadot’s finest Premier Crus. The Celebration concept was first created by Jacques Lardière in 2009 to celebrate Jadot’s 150th anniversary. This 2020 is just their fifth release and is one of the finest to date. 

The 2020 ‘Celebration’ is beautifully aromatic, fresh and well-balanced on the nose. The bouquet in its youth already displays a wonderful array of high-quality fruit with exciting ageing potential. Full of blackberry, raspberry and a second wave of smoky berries shining through on the palate, I’m very impressed with this 1er Cru blend. The tannins have a soft grip, and the acidity is very well integrated, which has me thinking all elements are developing into a wine of remarkable harmony.

92 Points – Wine Advocate

The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Célébration (Maison Louis Jadot), is a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless wine evocative of smoky berries, spices and liquorice framed by creamy new oak. More polished and elegant than the muscular 2018, the latest rendition of this bottling (which blends more than a dozen of Beaune’s premiers crus) will offer a broad drinking window. Drink 2025 – 2043.
