This 1.26ha monopole sits on the southern edge of Beaune. It came into the portfolio in 1826 when Jadot purchased it from the previous owners of 400 years, the Ursuline nuns. Clos des Ursules is itself within a walled off portion of Les Vignes Franches. sifting through our combined notes we seem to agree that this is often their best Beaune 1er Cru. It often shows strong, but not overwhelming structure, and a fresh, cool dark fruited profile.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is showing very well in bottle, unwinding in the glass with a pretty but youthfully reserved bouquet of sweet red berries, plums and cassis, mingled with hints of dark chocolate, warm spices and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, it's elegant—even polished—with a succulent core of fruit, lively acids and a nicely defined finish. At maturity—which will demand a decade's patience, even if this can be approached sooner—this will be an especially sumptuous Clos des Ursules. (WK)
