The Freshness and Structure of a Great White Burgundy Wine

The Estate

Founded in 1859, Maison Louis Jadot has established itself as a key reference in Burgundy. The family adventure began with the acquisition of Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Today, as the owner of numerous prestigious parcels, the estate continues a know-how passed down from generation to generation, ensuring wine lovers the excellence of Burgundy wines.

Since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey led the estate. In September 2022, he entrusted the management to Thomas Seiter (formerly of Bouchard Père et Fils), while the General Management was taken over by his son, Thibault Gagey.

The Vineyard

This Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Louis Jadot comes from vineyards located at the border of the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. Planted on soils mixed with limestone marl and clay, these exceptional parcels contribute to the reputation of this unique terroir.

Vinification and Aging

The grapes, hand-harvested, are gently pressed before fermentation in oak barrels, one-third of which are new, from the estate's own cooperage. The aging extends for about 15 months on fine lees, bringing complexity and finesse to the wine.

Grape Variety

100% Chardonnay
