Jadot Chardonnay’s (front line)
2019 Macon-Villages
This is a is a sweet-fruit driven, juicy wine with a distinct tang as the acid plays against the ripe fruit. It’s balanced and very pure; an easy drinking, joyful kind of Chardonnay. $13
2019 Bourgogne
Much leaner and more about the interplay of fruit and earth. Less tangy than the Macon because the fruit and acid are more harmonious. Svelte but with good volume and tension, this is the ‘adult’ version of the Macon. $16
2018 Chablis
Another animal entire; complex, precise and unmistakably of its place. It requires one’s attention and, when it gets it, delivers nuance and energy unlike either of the other two bottlings. There’s also a light saline tone in the long, detailed finish. A sublime wine that should develop with age. $23
All three recommended.
