2009 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru： 150 岁庆典酒

2009 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru "150th Anniversary Cuvee"

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2009 Beaune 150th Anniversary Cuvee is a commemorative wine created to celebrate Jadot’s 150th birthday. The 150th Anniversary Cuvee is a selection of the maison’s best parcels in the Cote de Beaune. It boasts extraordinary richness and length, not to mention fabulous overall balance. Seemingly endless layers of intensely fragrant dark red fruit build to the effortless, huge finish. This is a fabulous showing from Jadot. It is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. I think it is safe to say Jadot hit it out the park with this effort. Readers will be tempted to drink the 2009 early, so immense is its appeal, but opening a bottle before its tenth birthday is likely to be nothing more than an academic exercise. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.

 The Louis Jadot Beaune Premier Cru 150th Anniversary 2009 is a deliberate blend of specific top parcels from among all of Jadot's Premier Cru vineyards. It saw the same elevage as the Grand Crus, including an additional six months in a combination of new and used oak, and was also held back for an additional year (all of the other 2009s were released last fall).

This 'Anniversary' 2009 received 92-94 points from Wine Advocate in September, 2011 and a final 94 from Antonio Galloni in April, with the comment, "I think it is safe to say Jadot hit it out the park with this effort." Great Burgundy, and a little piece of history, are rarely this affordable and this unique effort is a must for Burgundy fans.
