Louis Jadot 2012 En Primeur Wine Tasting

Saturday 23^rd November 2013

@ Fareham Wine Cellar

Unfortunately we were unable to attend the Louis Jadot 2012 En Primeur wine tasting this year but, fortunately, we have been given some samples to try at Fareham Wine Cellar. We are going to try the samples and thought we would give our customers the opportunity to try the samples with us.

If you would like to try the samples with us, please just turn up between 2pm and 5.30pm on Saturday 23^rd.

Sorry for the short notice on this, it was a surprise for me too!

2012 was an interesting year for Burgundy. The first half of 2012 was quite disastrous, it was cold, wet and miserable and mildew and mould was prevalent in the vineyards. Flowering was late and there was a fair bit of hail damage. However, in the end, although 2012 is a very small harvest, the quality has turned out to be very good and some are saying the reds are better than good.

Please have a look at these very good articles from Clive Coates MW and Aubert de Villaine at Jancis Robinson’s website for more detailed information.
