✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the heart of the prestigious Pouilly-Fuissé appellation in the Mâconnais, the 'Clos des Prouges' is a highly esteemed climat renowned for producing white Burgundy of remarkable depth and elegance. Acquired alongside the historic Domaine Ferret by Maison Louis Jadot in 2008, this east-facing vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate and soils rich in clay and limestone. The vines here yield Chardonnay of exceptional concentration. Vinified with traditional Burgundian methods, including fermentation and aging in oak casks, the wine beautifully balances luscious stone fruit flavors with a precise, chalky minerality. It stands as a testament to Jadot's commitment to showcasing the distinct personality of Burgundy's finest single vineyards.
🍾 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.
