Jadot’s 2005 Beaune Theurons exhibits pure black cherry with sage and smoky bacon on the nose. Loaded with sap and juicy fruit character in the mouth, it juxtaposes tart freshness with creamy texture. Sage, resin, black cherry and a hint of maple syrup mark a savory finish that displays fascinating salty-sweet and fruit-smoked meat oscillation. This vigorous and tightly-concentrated wine should reward at least 5-7 years of cellaring. (The name of this site is usually spelled without an “h”.) Jacques Lardiere has once again presided over a collection for the most part not intended to flatter in its youth, but rather to achieve an eventual balance of fruit acidity with (in this instance frequently quite prominent) tannin. Prolonged post-fermentative extraction promoted a formidably-structured group of wines, which Lardiere expressed no hurry about bottling. Certain of these – particularly from the Cote de Beaune – displayed a slightly drying finishing astringency or simply an austere lack of charm to match their concentration, traits Lardiere suggested might be traceable to drought stress in those sites. A brief July rain that reached the Cote de Nuits but not the Cote de Beaune was critical, he asserts, and all of Jadot’s vines in the northern Cote were picked before the harvest in the south commenced. (Wines from the Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Heritiers Louis Jadot, or Domaine Gagey, have been identified with a letter “D” in their listings.)
