Jadot’s long-time winemaker Jacques Lardière spent a good deal of 2012 on a year-long retirement tour worthy of a rockstar. He earned it with four decades-plus of memorable wines. It seemed like every few weeks there was a magnificent tasting somewhere in the world celebrating one of the truly great careers and people in wine. I was privy to one of these tastings, held at Jadot’s headquarters in Beaune.
