Louis Jadot, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_italy The 2004 Blanc des Millenaires

The 2004 Blanc des Millenaires offers a striking combination of freshness and the complexity that develops in bottle

it is taut yet multilayered

Like the Poisets this is notably rich with its relatively large-scaled flavors that also enjoy good density thanks to the abundant dry extract that also coats the palate and pushes the firmer supporting tannins to the background

This is a focused effort that exhibits controlled power and a lovely sense of underlying tension

Louis Jadot, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_italy The 2004 Blanc des MillenairesThis is notably higher toned than the Charmes with a more elegant blend of cool and restrained red currant, raspberry and liqueur of red cherry aromas, all trimmed in an overt stoniness that continues onto the bigger and more obviously concentrated flavors that carry better depth and length on the beautifully balanced if moderately austere finish. I quite like this and the sense of harmony is pronounced. Lovely and entirely classic in style. (92 94)
