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

dried tea leaves

The depth here is nothing short of mind blowing and this is clearly a notch up from the 2000 if not quite as promising as either the ’98 or the ’99

round and energetic medium weight flavors also possess evident minerality on the refreshing and inviting finale

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)
