Louis Jadot Santenay Clos de Malte Rouge 2020 is a red Burgundy made from grapes grown in the appellation of Santenay in the southern part of Burgundy, the Côte de Beaune, adjacent to Chassagne Montrachet. The appellation produces both red and white wines, from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, respectively.
The beautiful walled Clos de Malte vineyard was planted by Pierre-Henry Gagey’s great-grandfather, and produces an elegant red wine with earthy notes. The vineyard is a 7-hectare “Monopole” (Louis Jadot is the sole owner) situated on the “climat” «Sous la Fée» at the foot of the Montagne des Trois Croix. It is mainly planted with Pinot Noir, with a small hectare of Chardonnay, situated on limestone and clay soil.
Louis Jadot is one of the largest and most famous wine producers and negociants in the Burgundy wine-growing region. The origins of the company date back to 1859, when the business was founded by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. Over time, the company has acquired plots of vines in some of the most prestigious vineyards in the region, including Beaune Clos des Ursules, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and many more.
Louis Jadot owns or directly controls 120 ha in the Côte d’Or, including over 90 individual vineyard sites, 84ha in the Beaujolais Crus and 18ha in the Mâconnais, primarily in Pouilly-Fuissé (they own the fantastic Domaine Ferret). Today, the business is headed by Pierre-Henry Gagey, son of André Gagey, who was entrusted with the management of Louis Jadot in 1962.
