Louis Jadot with grant from Kobrand

Jadot is one of the larger negotiant buyers in Burgundy . they produce some 120 bottlings. but their workhorses are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir or Bourgogne Blanc and Rouge.

2006 Chardonnay soft fruit, a touch mineral with a nice toasty nose. I think it gets a little more residual sugar than others because its coming to the US market.

Pouilly Fuisse 2005 caramel and toasty nose. viscous with nice fruit and good acidity for the hot vintage.everyone is saying 2005 is a great vintage

Beaujolais 2006 light color, a touch tinny, lighter in style and flavor than Beaujolais Village

Beaujolais Village 2006 a better choice of grapes, bright color with a pepper finish. a little bubble gum.

Pinot Noir 2005 garnet color, bright fruit, not a lot of earth...nice acidity more california style
