This clos is not far from the village of Pernand, on calcareous, stony soil, facing east. The Croix de Pierre is a large stone cross at the entrance to the vineyard. Most of the vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir. The fruit is fermented in tanks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for about 15 months before bottling.
Aromas of cherries, raspberries and petals introduce the 2021 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Clos de la Croix de Pierre (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a medium-bodied, fleshy, giving, open-knit wine that will offer charming drinking young.

2023 Louis Jadot (Famille Gagey) Savigny-Les-Beaune Clos des Guettes 1er Cru...$58.99
The commune of Savigny-lès-Beaune is in the north of the Côte de Beaune and produces 90% red wines. Les Guettes is located in the middle of the commune on gravely, stony chalk soil. It faces south–southeast at 220 meters to 360 meters in altitude. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in vats for up to one month, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 12 to 15 months before bottling.
Floral and perfumed with aromas of rose petals, crushed blueberries, hibiscus and cherries. The palate is fresh and precise with finely integrated tannins and a textural, chalky, tightly wound mouthfeel. Lovely tension and lightness. This has great aging potential, albeit drinking well now. Delicious. Drink or hold.

2023 Heritiers Louis Jadot Beaune Clos des Ursules Monopole 1er Cru...$118.99
Clos des Ursules is a historic Beaune vineyard and key to the Jadot origin story as the first parcel acquired in 1826. The vineyard is a sub-climate of the Vignes Franches terroir and is divided into two sections (upper & lower) with a landmark stone hut in the center. Soils are deep red clay which tend to impart structure and elegance to the wines. Pinot Noir here is harvested manually and brought to the nearby winery for triage, destemming, and natural fermentation in passive oak vats. After alcoholic fermentation is complete the wine is racked into oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and extended aging. Approximately 16 months later the cuvee is reassembled for bottling.
There’s a lovely depth of fruit here with lifted, perfumed aromas of cherries, rose petals, blood oranges, hibiscus and terra-cotta. The medium-bodied palate has a silky, rounded mouthfeel, supported by fine-grained tannins. A great balance between freshness and power, offering immediate drinking pleasure and good aging potential. Drink or hold.
