✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Louis Jadot's Premier Cru white wines represent the quintessential expression of Burgundy's legendary Chardonnay terroir. Sourced from prestigious Premier Cru vineyards primarily located along the limestone-rich slopes of the Côte de Beaune, these wines are crafted with a deep respect for tradition. Under the guidance of Jadot's long-standing winemaking philosophy, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in oak barrels, a portion of which are new, before undergoing patient maturation on their fine lees. This meticulous process yields a white Burgundy of exceptional harmony, balancing a vibrant, flinty minerality with rich notes of white peach, toasted hazelnuts, and delicate white flowers. The iconic label featuring the head of Bacchus remains a historic stamp of quality, representing a legacy of excellence that dates back to the house's founding in 1859.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Beaune in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, Maison Louis Jadot stands as one of Burgundy's preeminent domaines and négociant houses. With viticultural roots extending back to the 1826 purchase of the Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules, the estate manages hundreds of hectares spanning Chablis, the Côte d'Or, the Mâconnais, and Beaujolais. Viticulture relies strictly on lutte raisonnée principles, emphasizing soil vitality, manual canopy stewardship, and parcel-specific harvesting across varied limestone-clay climats. In the cellar, Technical Director Frédéric Barnier perpetuates a non-interventionist ethos shaped by decades of institutional expertise: native yeast fermentations, extended skin contact, and restrained use of new French oak—crafted largely at Jadot's own Tonnellerie Cadus—ensure uncompromised terroir fidelity. The house is celebrated for its benchmark expressions, notably Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, Corton-Charlemagne, Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles, and the historic Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules monopole.
