On the palate, the wine is supple yet vibrant, offering a silken texture balanced by bright acidity and a persistent limestone-driven minerality. Flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and gentle toasty nuances unfold harmoniously, leading into a long, refined finish marked by purity, lift, and quiet depth. Now entering a superb drinking window, the 2011 Les Demoiselles showcases Jadot’s precision and the innate grace of this illustrious terroir.
Louis Jadot Description
Maison Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most venerable producers, renowned for its classical winemaking, deep vineyard holdings, and unwavering commitment to terroir expression. Among its most treasured bottlings is Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles, a legendary climat at the upper reaches of Chevalier-Montrachet, historically shared by Jadot and Domaine Louis Latour. This hallowed slope, with its thin, chalk-rich soils and constant breezes, yields Chardonnay of exceptional finesse, tension, and mineral purity. Jadot’s approach—meticulous vineyard care, gentle extraction, restrained oak, and patient élevage—allows the terroir’s elegance and precision to shine. Les Demoiselles consistently stands as one of the domaine’s crown jewels, combining Grand Cru depth with a kind of aerial, crystalline grace unique to this site.
