Louis Jadot Beaune “Clos des Couchereaux” 1er cru 2004 Monday, May 12 2008
Tasting Notes and France and Burgundy and Variety and Red and pinot noir
No introduction, I am in a rush and Blackboard is telling me to “hurry up”.
Glacé cherries, a roundedness, stalk and pepper, soda water, mint tea and a touch of dried meat. The palate showed red fruits, dried stalks through the mid palate and fleshed out on a finish that included a touch of sap too. There was some sweetness of fruit, with some game and dried meat characters, but there was also an underlying stalkiness that might disconcert some people. A lovely light mouthfeel, good length, dry and perhaps a bit shy, lightly weighted with a feminine edge. Short term drinking I would guess.

Interesting note Lincoln. I’ve consumed 2 of these, the first on receipt of th ewine last year and it was delicious. The 2nd bot tried recently sounds a bit like yours - not as fleshy as the first. i think in general 04s will not be long-term wines.

I have a 99 of this, as well as a Jadot 99 Pertuisots. On my birthday they will be drunk with a 2002 Chanson Clos de Mouches and a 99 Pousse de Or Corton Bressandes.
Makes it almost worth turning 50.
