"Expressive aromas of dark fruits, coffee and chocolate. Sweet, very ripe and pliant, with enticing inner-mouth aromatic character. Finishes with ripe tannins and lingering sweetness. This will make a good restaurant wine but should also last well. This was my favorite of the Jadot village wines, although the Nuits-Saint-Georges should turn out well, especially if Lardiere declassifies some premier cru juice into it, as he expects to do."-Stephen Tanzer.

"Beautiful ruby crimson colour with reflections of black cherry. The aroma is intense and is dominated by empyreumatic (roasted, grilled or toasted) notes. The attack is clear and the richness appears quickly, conferring roundness and consistency to the wine. Then tannin, already silky and distributed well, affirms its presence. This prestige red Sancerre wine has consistency and full body. It finishes on notes of maturity (caramel, fruit compote)."
