Description

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.

Louis Jadot Bourgogne Chardonnay Couvent des Jacobin is made from 100 Chardonnay grapes sourced from around the Côte d’Or, Chalonnais and Viré-Clessé best vineyards. Mâconnais grapes give freshness while Côte d’Or and Chalonnais give the wine structure. The various wines are blended after a traditional vinification. Ageing lasts 8 to 10 months in oak barrels from our cooperage or in stainless steel vats before being bottled.
