The Power and Elegance of a Beaune Premier Cru by Louis Jadot

The Estate

Founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, Maison Louis Jadot is an essential institution in Burgundy, historically rooted in the heart of Beaune. Owned by the Kopf family since 1985, the estate is now chaired by Thomas Seiter. With a vast vineyard holding, the estate stands out for its strong environmental commitment. Recognisable by its emblematic label adorned with the head of Bacchus, the house perpetuates a unique savoir-faire.

The Vineyard

This climat, farmed by Héritiers Louis Jadot, lies on the heights of the commune of Beaune. Facing due south, the vines enjoy ideal sunshine. They thrive on particularly well-drained clay-limestone soils, covered with a surface layer of alluvium. This hillside terroir promotes optimal ripening of the grapes while preserving beautiful freshness.

Winemaking and Ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand. After rigorous sorting and destemming, the berries undergo a long maceration in open vats, punctuated by punch-downs, with fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then carefully aged in oak barrels.

Grape Variety

Pinot Noir (100%).
