Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Theurons', Louis Jadot 2006 vs Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Georges Roumier, Burgundy 2022

Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Theurons', Louis Jadot 2006

This is classic mature Burgundy drinking; supple, mid-weight, and beautifully resolved: sweet red berries, spice, a dusting of cocoa, and those fine, silky tannins gliding towards a savoury, earthy finish. Theurons is often thought of as the sweet spot among Beaune’s premiers, sitting just under the line of Grèves and frequently the most 'Vosne-like' - silk over muscle. Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most recognisable and respected names, producing wines that range from humble Bourgogne to some of the most revered Grands Crus. Founded in 1859, the house has always focused on expressing terroir with clarity and precision, rather than chasing fashion or excess oak. Today, under the guidance of Frédéric Barnier, Jadot farms over 150 hectares of vineyards (many of them Premier and Grand Cru) and also works closely with trusted growers across the Côte d’Or and beyond.
