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. Drinkable now, but best from 2024." 

Wine Spectator, 95 Points 

"Powerful and complex, this red features black cherry, plum, tobacco, spice and mineral aromas and flavors. Firmly structured and beautifully balanced, with a lush, kaleidoscopic finish. Delivers dense, well-proportioned tannins and looks set for a long life ahead. Best from 2025." 

Decanter, 94 Points 

"Produced from the stony soils of the 1.23ha Clos des Ursules, located within Premier Cru Vignes Franches, bordering the Clos des Mouches on the southern reaches of the slope on the way to Pommard. The vineyard produces a dark, plummy fruit character, with a marked minerality and pleasant floral notes. The texture is silky and lush, with an approachable, tender texture and good length." 

Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points 

"One of the flagship wines of the Beaune, this Pinot Noir sourced from a walled monopole vineyard offers up bright, sun-kissed red-cherry and wild-strawberry flavors accented by hints of fur and earth. It's ripe and robust in body but freshly balanced by a spirited edge of acidity and very fine, persistent tannins. *Editors' Choice*" 

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." 

Vinous, 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."
