As it sometimes does, Jadot partially blocked malolactic acidity in its 2015 whites.
With respect to the sucrosity that I note in many of the wines below, it is not like the sucrosity of 2003s where the wines often tasted sweet. Here it is a certain richness of texture, and based on my past experience, it will disappear with aging.
In news, Jadot has bought an estate that includes Meursault Narvaux, Charmes, and Perrières among its holdings.
Overall, the collection is not as outstanding as the 2015 reds, but there is good quality here, more than one originally expected from the 2015 white vintage. As with reds, the best values appear to be in lower appellations and premiers crus. Aging potential appears moderate for the most part.
2015 Santenay Clos de Malte Domaine Louis Jadot
This white is round, fresh, and pure with some hazelnuts. It was one of the last whites that Jadot harvested. (86-90)
2015 Pernand-Vergelesses La Croix de Pierre Domaine Louis Jadot
Two-thirds of this wine is from the part of La Croix de Pierre that is classified as premier cru and declassified into the village wine. The nose has mineral and iron aromas. The mouth is rich, round, mineral, and earthy. (86-89)
2015 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Domaine Gagey
The nose shows finesse in is minerality and gold fruit. The mouth is long with freshness. There is some sucrosity in the density and breadth of the texture, but no sensation of sweetness. (88-92)
2015 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes Domaine Gagey
The Bressandes has minerality and chipped stone aromas and flavors. The wine is rich but still retains nervosity, keeping the originality of white Beaunes. (89-92)
2015 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Le Clos Blanc Domaine Gagey
Better, still is the Beaune-Grèves Le Clos Blanc. The nose is mineral and steely with chipped stone aromas. The mouth is steely with some sucrosity in richness of texture but no sense of sweetness. The wine has good tension and length. (90-93)
2015 Meursault
The nose shows hazelnuts. The mouth is oily in texture but fresh with vanillins and some minerality. This is a negociant wine and is not the definitive blend, as some premier cru wine will be declassified into it. (87-90)
2015 Meursault 1er Cru Porouzot Domaine Louis Jadot
The Meursault-Porouzot has a characteristic steely nose. The mouth is steely and fresh with good tension and length — in short, a good and typical Porouzot. (90-93)
2015 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes
This negociant wine comes from two sources, one sells grape musts that Jadot vinifies, and from the other, Jadot buys the wine in cask. The wine is round with excellent freshness to go with characteristic Charmes golden fruit. (91-94)
2015 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières Domaine Louis Jadot
The Genevrières has typical aromas distinctive to this vineyard. The mouth is smooth with sucrosity (but not sweetness), and the wine is light and elegant. (90-93)
2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Domaine Louis Jadot
The nose here has honey and wax aromas. The mouth shows acidity, roundness, depth, and sucrosity (richness of texture, not perception of sweetness). (88-92)
2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Domaine du Duc de Magenta
The Duc de Magenta Abbaye de Morgeot has a mineral Chardonnay nose. The mouth shows good acidity, richness from sucrosity, and golden Chardonnay flavors. (89-93)
2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
The Chassagne-Caillerets displays good finesse, lightness, and stoniness — very promising. (90-94)
2015 Puligny-Montrachet
This wine will still have some premier cru declassified into it prior to bottling. As it is, it contains 1/3 wine from Enseignières, the vineyard just below Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. The nose shows chipped stone aromas. The mouth is mineral, light, stony, and steely. (89-92)
2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Referts Domaine Louis Jadot
Jadot’s Referts shows chipped stone aromas. The mouth is dense, mineral, and concentrated. (89-93)
2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne Domaine Louis Jadot
The Garenne is rich and round but with freshness and minerality. There is some sucrosity in the richness of texture. (89-93)
2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne Domaine du Duc de Magenta
One of the myriad of oddities of Burgundy is that the Clos de Garenne is not even contiguous with la Garenne, much less within it. Here we have a peach blossom nose, followed in the mouth by ripe peach flavors, length, purity, and good freshness. (91-95)
2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot
The Folatières shows good minerality, chewiness, and peach fruit. (90-93)
2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret
This wine is from purchased musts. It is rich and ripe but steely with some peach fruit showing. (90-94)
2015 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières
This wine is a negociant wine, but this is the Perrières parcel that Jadot subsequently bought, as mentioned above. There’s sucrosity here along with roundness and ripeness, but also Perrières stoniness, density, and chewiness. This may not be classic Perrières, but there is still an attractive wine here. (90-93)
2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée
The nose and mouth of the Romanée are steely and stony. The mouth shows finesse, a hint of lime blossom, and good tension. This is an outstanding wine for the vintage. (91-95)
2015 Bâtard-Montrachet
The Bâtard-Montrachet displays good freshness, lightness, and stoniness, along with length and tension. (91-95)
2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot
Jadot’s signature Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles is pure, stony, and has good drive. It shows the noblesse one expects of this wine. (92-96)
2015 Montrachet
The Montrachet is round and pure and is attractive, but it lacks the acidity and structure of the best vintages. (91-95)
2015 Corton-Charlemagne Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot
Last, Jadot’s Corton-Charlemagne has the tension of Corton-Charlemagne and is deep with white peach fruit, but it still needs more time to develop. (91-95)
