Description
A Premier Cru from Burgundy combining complexity and refinement
The property
The Maison Louis Jadot, established since 1859, is a true reference in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owner of prestigious vineyard plots, Maison Louis Jadot perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation, offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.
At the head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey handed over his position in September 2022 to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the General Management to his son Thibault Gagey.
The vineyard
This Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Poissenot 2020 comes from the Côte de Nuits region. This village only produces red wines, offering a range of 26 Premier Crus and 8 Grand Crus. The Premier Cru Poissenots is located adjacent to the Estournelles Saint-Jacques climate, north of the Combe de Lavaux. Benefiting from a full south orientation, this cru presents a rich and diversified clay-limestone soil.
Vinification and aging
The berries are hand-picked and placed in small crates to maintain the integrity of the fruit. These are then carefully hand-sorted before being destemmed. Maceration takes place in open vats, whether they are made of wood or stainless steel, for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. During fermentation, punching down is carried out twice a day. The wine is then aged for nearly 18 months in barrels from the estate's cooperage, about a third of which are new.
Grape variety
Pinot noir (100%)
