The elegance and minerality of a great Puligny-Montrachet terroir

The estate

Officially founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, the Louis Jadot House stands as a true institution in Burgundy. Today led by the Gagey family, with Pierre-Henri Gagey as president and Thibault Gagey as general manager, the estate perpetuates a philosophy centred on the pure expression of terroir. The domaine oversees a vast vineyard of around 210 hectares spread across the region's finest appellations. Combining winemaking traditions with sustainable practices, Louis Jadot produces wines recognised worldwide for their quality and authenticity.

The vineyard

The "La Garenne" climat enjoys a privileged position at altitude within the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, not far from the hamlet of Blagny. Facing south-east, the vines benefit from ideal sun exposure that promotes beautiful ripening of the berries. The terroir is distinguished by medium-density limestone soils scattered with scree, which impart to the wine its distinctive mineral signature. Historically, this lieu-dit takes its name from the former enclosed woods reserved for seigneurial hunting.

Winemaking and aging

After a manual harvest carried out in small crates to preserve the fruit, the berries of this Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Garenne" Dom. Louis Jadot 2024 undergo a gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place directly in oak barrels, one third of which are new. The wine then benefits from meticulous aging of approximately 15 months on fine lees, allowing for a harmonious integration of the oak aromas and the development of its complexity.
