89 Pts Wine Spectator

"A brooding red, with lots of coffee and smoke threading together the roasted plum and cassis notes. It's lightly chewy, but integrated, with a lingering cigar-tinged finish. Drink now through 2011. 100 cases imported." -89 points Wine Spectator

WINE:
"A deep garnet wine of extremely elegant aromatic intensity characterized by fragrant red berries and an airy minerality. The palate is firmly structured yet silky with excellent acidic balance, ending on a long, ripe finish underscored by woodsy, earth and mineral notes. The wine approaches maturity in most vintages after a decade or so." -Importer

VINEYARDS:
"The ten crus of Beaujolais are situated in the northern half of the Beaujolais district, collectively covering just over 15,750 acres irregularly surrounded by the villages of the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. The crus occupy the finest and most complex soils of the district, characterized by sand and clay topsoils over a deep layer of schist and crystalline granite, and subtle differences among them account for the individuality of each cru. Total production averages four million cases, about one fourth of the Beaujolais' annual yield."

"Morgon is the second largest cru of Beaujolais, covering 2,770 acres situated on the slopes of two valleys, one in the north of the cru and the other in the south. The particular composition of Morgon's soils is marked by the pronounced presence of sand and gravel produced by disintegrating schist and manganese over a layer of deep clay, referred to as 'terre pourrie,' or 'decayed soil.' Manganese, which bonds with the live plant matter in the soil, lends the wines density and vigor and also makes them slower to evolve. Two microclimates are considered to be the finest in the cru: Mont de Py, a parcel of vocanic soils on Morgon's highest hillside; and Charmes, with soils typical of the cru." -Importer

WINERY:
"Maison Louis Jadot purchased the Chateau des Lumieres in 2001. Originally the Chateau de Bellevue, the name was subsequently changed to reflect a period around the turn of the 20th century when the Lumieres brothers, inventors of the cinema, inhabited the domaine's chateau. The estate covers 148 acres, 87.5 of which are planted to vineyards lying on the southerly- and southeasterly-exposed slopes overlooking the village of Villie-Morgon. The vineyards are distinguished among four 'clos,' or parcels: Cote de Py, les Charmes, Roche Noire and Bellevue. Cote du Puy is a 7.5 acre vineyard lying on an extinct volcano with significant granite, clay and basalt content in the soil." -Importer

"The vision expounded by Jadot's technical director Jacques Laridiere and his Beaujolais-based counterpart Guillaume de Castelnau is not widely shared, but it is founded on a serious study of this region’s history as well as on the tasting experience and intuitions of one of the wine world's true gurus (Lardiere). In brief, the vision is that Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent should be treated to Burgundian vinification, including new barriques, segregation by vineyard, and treatment as vins de garde. Two things to note in tasting young wines from this team: don't serve them at as cool a temperature as you would be tempted to other Beaujolais (it will enhance their partly oak-induced astringency); give them time in the air to display their depth of flavor. I warmed up to the 2005s here on repeated exposure, but I find the 2006s more charming and accessible, and ultimately as good." -David Schildknecht of the Wine Advocate on Jadot's Beaujolais program in Issue 178.
