Description

Louis Jadot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2022 is a red Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits wine-growing region. The commune of Flagey Echezeaux is situated between the Clos Vougeot and the Vosne Romanée vineyards. The village is on the plain, bordering the Vosne Romanée commune.

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.

There are two Grands Crus in the commune of Flagey Excehzeaux: Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux. The two Grands Crus Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux are situated on the slopes. The Echezeaux soil is chalky, which is perfect for producing beautiful Grands Crus, and the vineyard has an east / south-east aspect.

The Pinot Noir grapes for Louis Jadot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2022 are destemmed and fermented in vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Ageing takes place in oak barrels produced by Jadot’s own cooperage Cadus for 18 months.
