"The 2011 Chassagne-Montrachet “la Romanée” from Maison Louis Jadot is also a beautiful example of the vintage, offering up a deep and youthful mélange of apple, orange, a deep and very complex base of soil, citrus oils, smoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a superb sense of reserve, excellent focus and grip and a very, very long, racy and perfectly balanced finish. This too will be stunning, but it will probably take a couple of years longer to fully blossom than the Caillerets."
