The purity and beauty to this wine is certainly impressive with raspberry, blueberry and lavender aromas. Simple character on the palate with a full body, chewy and round tannins and a savory finish, leaving flint, dried black-tea and spice on the aftertaste. Very impressive. Try after 2023.

The 2016 vintage of Clos des Ursules is outstanding. The wine is very, very red fruity in profile this year, which I find very exciting, as this is usually a very black fruity wine out of the blocks. The nose is complex and already quite expressive, jumping from the glass in a blaze of cherries, red plums, gamebird, a very complex base of soil, cedar and a lovely topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is pure, deep and transparent, with its full-bodied format quite seamless and refined. The core is sappy, the soil signature is outstanding and the fine-grained tannins and zesty acids promise a very long and very elegant evolution in bottle. A truly outstanding vintage of Clos des Ursules in the making!

This walled vineyard, part of the Vignes Franches premier cru, has produced a generous wine full of dark tannins, black fruits and a dense texture. Ripe black-cherry flavors are balanced by good acidity in a wine that will develop well. Drink from 2025. ROGER VOSS

The Clos des Ursules is excellent in 2016, its pretty bouquet of red and black cherry, orange rind, rich soil and a top note of violets introducing a supple, full-bodied and fine-grained wine with a deep core of fruit, nicely integrated tannins and lovely energy.

The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is showing very well indeed from bottle, wafting from the glass with a beautifully pure bouquet of red cherries, plums, subtle spices and citrus peel that only hint at the tertiary complexity to come with bottle age. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, elegant and velvety, with excellent depth at the core, succulent acids and a long, precise finish. The sheer finesse of this Clos des Ursules' tannins is really quite striking, but while that renders it deceptively approachable now, the real excitement will come with the better part of a decade of bottle age. - William Kelley

Captivating aromas of violet, black currant and black cherry are the hallmarks of this elegant red. Intense, featuring saturated flavors driven by vibrant acidity and embedded in the matrix of tannins. Shows excellent length, with a mineral accent. Best from 2022 through 2040. 590 cases made.–BS
