I have always been a fan of Jadot's wines. They have always managed in the great vintages to be good across the board and great on some specific wines. The 2010 vintage is no exception. Let me back up to note that I consider 2010 to be great in that it is a more classic style vintage and will provide beautiful pinots and chards that will age well. The low level wines I admitidly did not spend a great deal of time tasting but on the top end, my favorites included: Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres, Corton Charlemagne, Batard Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet "Les Demoiselles," Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots, Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux Monts, Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques, Corton Greves, Echezeaux, Clos St Denis, and Griottte Chambertin. The Folatieres, Corton Charlemagne, and especially the Chevalier Demoiselles are the absolute stars of the white while the Corton Greves and Griotte stood out as the "don't miss" of the reds. I don't want to short hand the others but they cannot all be favorites. Additionally, I have to wonder based on tasting history, if many of the wines were shut down do to the age they are at any that they had moved to London from Burgundy for this tasting and experienced a little bottle shock. If this is in fact the case, it means that many of these wines are worth a shot and Jadot still represents a great value in Burgundy!

I can still taste the 2010 Griotte-Chambertin, it was the true standout for me at this tasting.
