Winemaker Jacques Lardiere describes his young 2008 reds as "spicy and minerally wines." He gives the Cote de Nuits the clear edge over the Cote de Beaune. Jadot eliminated about 30% of the fruit from their Cote de Beaunevineyards ("due more to rot than to underripe grapes"), but there was much less damage to the fruit further north. During the course of our tasting he compared the 2008s to the 2001s. The 2007s that I retasted in their finished form have turned out very well, with the best of them displaying wonderfully fresh and high-pitched aromatics for the vintage.
