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.
James Suckling: 96 Points
A breathtakingly deep and complex wine for Beaune, this is just beginning to reveal its treasures. So much ripeness and a certain degree of opulence, but this remains fine and poised. Very suave tannins on the concentrated and velvety palate and through the very long finish. Decades of aging potential.
Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points
Always one of the high points of the portfolio, the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) offers up aromas of berries and plums with hints of warm spices and orange rind, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, with elegantly muscular structuring tannins and lively acids, this will age with grace. (WK)
Burghound: 91-94 Points
This is also markedly reserved and requires vigorous swirling to reveal its array of cool, pure and wonderfully complex red and dark berries, earth, spice and a pretty floral whiff. There is a positively gorgeous mouthfeel to the sleek but plush flavors that manage to retain very good definition on the dusty, serious and impressively persistent finale. This is already really lovely and potentially great. *Burhound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*
Neal Martin: 91-93 Points
The 2019 Beaune Clos des Ursules 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet featuring a mélange of red and black fruit intermingled with orange blossom and iodine aromas. Good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with a stocky opening, fine structure and symmetry and a fine bead of acidity. There’s a dark fruit flourish toward the finish, which leaves behind a subtle marine-themed aftertaste. Excellent.
