2019 Louis Jadot Beaune Clos des Ursules
Secondary Description
Domaine des Heritiers Louis Jadot
Nowhere does Maison Louis Jadot have stronger and more diverse holdings than in Beaune. The Clos des Ursules (named after the Ursuline order of nuns who once owned it) has been a Jadot monopole since 1826 and is a holding they are particularly proud of. It is packed with ripe strawberry and plum aromas. The palate also reveals a surprisingly structured minerality, baking spice and white pepper. It is carried along fast by the very vibrant acidity but converges in a lush finish. Elegant, very well-balanced, and powerful. (NT 11/01/21)

The 2019 Beaune Clos des Ursules 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet featuring a mélange of red and black fruit intermingled with orange blossom and iodine aromas. Good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with a stocky opening, fine structure and symmetry and a fine bead of acidity. There’s a dark fruit flourish toward the finish, which leaves behind a subtle marine-themed aftertaste. Excellent. 91-93 points

A wonderful dry stone Cabotte has been built on the edge of the Clos des Ursules, competition for Andy Goldsworthy. Mid purple, spicy and ripe with a good density of fruit, but perhaps showing the heat a touch more. Then oaky and some firmer tannins. Not quite so harmonious today, but I bet it will become so. 90-94 points

Always one of the high points of the portfolio, the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) offers up aromas of berries and plums with hints of warm spices and orange rind, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, with elegantly muscular structuring tannins and lively acids, this will age with grace. 92-94 points
