Louis Jadot, Santenay, Clos de Malte, Rouge 2016 A & R COLLECTION This muscular and overtly robust

This muscular and overtly robust effort is definitely a big wine and one that should see its 50th birthday in fine form and for my taste

They will be 100 years old in 2028

The air is pristine and without pollution

Their approach to the craft of wine growing is one of stewardship rather than manipulation

and this geography plays an integral part in the wines of Cims de Porrera

Louis Jadot, Santenay, Clos de Malte, Rouge 2016 A & R COLLECTION This muscular and overtly robustLocated in Santenay, in the southern Cte de Beaune, Clos de Malte is a 17 acres monopole of Louis Jadot that lies at the foot of the Montagne des Troix Croix. It is planted primarily to Pinot Noir on moist soil of limestone and clay, but there is also a small amount of Chardonnay here. In winemaking, the Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in tanks for up to 4 weeks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 12 months before bottling. 92 Points
