Wine Spectator

“Pure black cherry is at the core of this silky red, graced by notes of rose, spice and earth. This is delicate in a way, with a lilting finish that firms up. Drink now through 2032. 200 cases imported.”

Highlights

Blend of more than a dozen Beaune Premier Cru vineyards from the 2018 vintage; red wine predominantly from Pinot Noir with noticeable toasty new oak. Aromas of sweet berries, cherries, plums and light vanilla; medium to full-bodied, deep and layered on the palate with a fleshy core, rich tannins, succulent acids, smooth cashmere texture, tart red cherry and crushed strawberry notes and a lilting finish that firms up.

Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Celebration Cuvee 2018

Beaune Premier Cru wines are those made under the strictest conditions of the Beaune appellation in Burgundy. The grapes are grown exclusively in the commune's Premier Cru-classified vineyards. Most are red wines made from Pinot Noir, though white wines from Chardonnay are also produced.

Critical Acclaim

92 Wine Advocate

Opening in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums framed by a deft application of toasty new oak, the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Célébration (Maison Louis Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a fleshy core of fruit structured around rich tannins and succulent acids. It's a hearty, generous wine that should evolve nicely in the cellar. As usual, it's a blend of more than a dozen Beaune premiers crus. In 2019, I reported on over 120 different 2018 Burgundies from Louis Jadot. As I wrote then, Jadot's Frédéric Barnier was optimistic about the reds from the beginning, but, he said, "We worked hard with the white wines—blocking a lot of malolactic—to make them fresh and lively." Revisiting an extensive range from bottle in my office in the United States, I was gratified to find the wines just as consistent as they had shown in barrel. The accompanying tasting notes record my impressions in detail.

92 Vinous

The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Célébration offers crunchy red berry fruit on the nose, crushed strawberry mingling with raspberry preserve and cranberry. A light vanilla scent emerges from the background. It is all disarmingly seductive (even more so the following day). The palate is medium-bodied with a very smooth and silky texture. Tart red cherries and crushed strawberry on the entry, modest depth, cashmere in texture and more sumptuous than previous iterations, unsurprising given the style of the 2018 vintage. Even if the 2018 Célébration does not quite “kick on” towards the finish, it is still utterly delicious.
