Louis Jadot Cote de Beaune Villages 2005

One of the best values you'll ever find in red Burgundy. 100% Pinot Noir from the stellar 2005 vintage. Louis Jadot Côte de Beaune-Villages is blended from wines selected from small growers in these areas with whom Jadot maintains long-standing relationships. Beyond this, the quality of the wine is improved by practicing a "réplis," whereby Jadot adds village-level wines from the vineyards of Santenay, Auxey-Duresses, Savigny and other communes in the Côte de Beaune, in effect declassifying superior wines to the benefit of the smaller wine. Jadot Côte de Beaune-Villages read more...is supple and medium-bodied, with ripe, red fruit depth and a typically elegant, earthy and aromatic bouquet. The soft tannins are balanced by sweet berry flavors that make it easily approachable when young but capable of aging very gracefully over the medium term.
