"An elegant, pure, complex and stylish nose of dense red berry fruit is heavily laced with warm earth and stone notes that also characterize the vibrant, rich and impressive full-bodied flavors blessed with ample amounts of dry extract that renders the otherwise firm tannins almost invisible at present. Still, this will require 12 to 15 years to see its full, and considerable, potential realized." - AM
Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most important negociants, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a portfolio that covers everything from inexpensive Bourgogne and Beaujolais wines to several grand cru wines, from the Cote de Beaune to Chablis. The house was founded in Beaune in 1859 by Louis Jadot, although the first vineyard Clos de Ursules was purchased in the 1820s. The headquarters remains in Beaune, although vineyard holdings have increased exponentially. Louis Jadot owns land in some of Burgundy's most famous vineyards, including Le Musigny, Echezeaux, Chapelle-Chambertin and in the famously fragmented Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Louis Jadot wines are also made in Chambertin, Montrachet, Corton and Romanee-Saint-Vivant. Andre Gagey took over as general manager for Louis Jadot in 1968 and, along with winemaker Jacques Lardiere, is often held responsible for Louis Jadot's high reputation.
