Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru

When was the last time you really treated yourself for no reason? Maybe you got a pedicure, because your toes were in disrepair… maybe you slept in Monday morning because you needed that extra hour of shut eye. I’ll come right out and say it, those examples aren’t really treating yourself. My definition of treating yourself is doing something that you don’t need, instead it’s doing something to feed your hungry sole for no other reason but for pleasure. So go out today and get yourself an extraordinary bottle of Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru. Yes, a GRAND CRU burgundy because YES, you deserve it. You can buy this bottle with the intent to age it to perfection, or instead of waiting 15-25 years you can open this bottle tonight, as a toast to a perfectly imperfect Wednesday. Drink something good my friends, if no one told you today, you’re awesome and you deserve it!

ORIGIN

Grapes

Tasting Notes

This rich, sumptuous wine has an extraordinary balance of power and elegance. The finely wrought texture finishes with lingering notes of berries and oak. This wine will improve in the bottle for 20 to 25 years.

Serve with sophisticated dishes such as meat in sauce, game and strong cheeses. Pinot Noir
