The estate

Founded in 1859 in Beaune by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, the Louis Jadot House is a true institution in Burgundy. Combining a négociant activity with the management of a vast estate, it strives to express the purity of each terroir with great fidelity. Now owned by the American Kopf family through the Kobrand group and led by Thomas Seiter, the company retains its local roots and strong identity. Deeply committed to a sustainable environmental approach, the House shines throughout the world thanks to authentic cuvées.

The vineyard

This wine comes from a seven-hectare plot farmed as a monopole, ideally located at the foot of the Montagne des Trois Croix, within the Santenay appellation. The vines flourish on soils rich in silt, clay and limestone, benefiting from a balanced exposure. Committed to preserving this unique terroir, the estate applies sustainable viticultural practices, encouraging biodiversity and strictly limiting chemical inputs to allow nature to fully express itself.

Winemaking and ageing

To produce the Santenay Village "Clos de Malte" 2023, the berries undergo vat fermentation lasting up to four weeks, promoting a gentle and gradual extraction of colours and tannins. The wine then benefits from careful ageing in oak barrels for around twelve months, allowing it to refine its structure while preserving the brightness of its fruit.
