A lot of French Burgundy sold here in the US, and presumably worldwide, is produced by negociants. These are wine merchants which actually buy up grapes from small growers in a region and then produces a wine under its own label. Louis Jadot is definitely one of the largest negociants and produces a lot of quality wines.
This Pouilly-Fuisse had very little on the nose but opened up nicely on the palate. The initial impression was of ripe melon, with traces of chalk and limestone along the edges. The finish was sharp, full of white flowers and ending with a fair bit of oak but not overpowering like a lot of new world chardonnay.
This was a good wine, unfortunately it was not a great wine. There was a distinct lack of depth and complexity to this one. At $20.99 I feel like it was priced more on the name of the producer and less on the quality of the contents. I have drank a lot of Louis Jadot wines and generally think that they represent good value but I cannot recommend this one at this price.
Cheers!
