The 2016 Louis Jadot Chambertin is a Pinot Noir hailing from the prestigious Chambertin sub-appellation in Gevrey Chambertin, situated in the Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy, France. This red wine, produced by Louis Jadot, features an alcohol content of 13.5% and is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

This vintage has garnered notable attention from professional reviewers. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a commendable score of 94 points, highlighting its "blackberry, raspberry and tobacco scents" and describing the palate as "medium-bodied with ripe, quite juicy tannin." The review notes the wine's impressive body and depth but suggests that "more sophistication" can be found in other offerings from the same producer, such as the Clos de Bèze and Chapelle-Chambertin.

John Gilman of View From The Cellar provided a score of 92+, emphasizing the wine's potential despite its current closed state. He notes that the sample he tasted was "a touch reduced" but eventually revealed "cassis, dark berries, roasted meats, espresso, woodsmoke, dark soil tones and a deft framing of cedary oak." Gilman describes the wine as "deep, full-bodied, pure and quite reserved in profile," with a "long, nascently complex and focused finish." He believes that the score may be conservative due to the wine's current state. (View From The Cellar, 3/1/2018)

Burghound was particularly impressed, giving the wine a score of 95 points. The reviewer mentions a "special kind of reduction that the Burgundians refer to as bourgeon de cassis" and notes the "copious wood" present in the nose. The palate is described as having "terrific energy and intensity" with "big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors" that offer "impressive volume and mid-palate density." Although the wine may not exhibit the same complexity today, it is suggested that Chambertin's ability to transform over time could lead this vintage to surpass even the Chapelle.

Overall, the 2016 Louis Jadot Chambertin is a robust and promising Pinot Noir that has already earned high praise but may continue to evolve and improve with time.
