The 2008 Les Demoiselles is a stunningly poised and finely structured expression of this iconic Grand Cru, shaped by the vintage’s hallmark tension and crystalline purity. Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, lemon oil, and crushed oyster shell rise with precision, supported by subtle notes of hazelnut, chalk, and delicate spice. On the palate, the wine is taut yet silken, driven by vibrant acidity and an intense mineral core that carries flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and finely integrated oak. The finish is long, linear, and resonant, revealing a combination of energy and quiet depth that speaks to both site and season. Now beautifully evolved yet still youthful in its structure, the 2008 Les Demoiselles stands as a profound, age-worthy white Burgundy—elegant, focused, and deeply expressive.

Maison Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most historic and widely respected producers, known for crafting wines of classical structure, purity, and terroir fidelity across an exceptional range of appellations. Among its crown jewels is Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles, a tiny and hallowed climat shared between Jadot and Domaine Louis Latour. Perched high on the slope within Chevalier-Montrachet proper, Les Demoiselles is defined by its thin, stony limestone soils, constant breezes, and naturally low yields—conditions that give Chardonnay extraordinary finesse, aromatic lift, and mineral-driven intensity. Jadot’s long-standing approach emphasizes meticulous vineyard care, restrained oak, and patient élevage, resulting in wines that showcase both the nobility of the Grand Cru and the estate’s commitment to depth, precision, and longevity.
