✨ Technical Specifications
This exceptional Premier Cru white Burgundy arises from an exclusive partnership established in 1986 between Maison Louis Jadot and the historic Domaine du Duc de Magenta. The 'Clos de la Chapelle' is a prized monopole vineyard situated within the renowned Morgeot climat of Chassagne-Montrachet, taking its name from the ancient chapel that stands adjacent to the vines. The terroir here is characterized by heavy clay and limestone soils, which impart a signature power, broad texture, and deep mineral intensity to the wine. Vinified and matured with meticulous care in oak barrels from Jadot's own Cadus cooperage, this wine beautifully balances rich stone fruit flavors, toasted brioche notes, and a vibrant, lingering acidity that reflects the nobility of its origin.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot—following the Jadot family's 1826 acquisition of the benchmark Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules—Maison Louis Jadot stands as one of Burgundy's defining houses. Today, the estate spans over 200 hectares of owned vineyards across the Côte d'Or, Beaujolais (Château des Jacques), and the Mâconnais (Domaine Ferret), complemented by historic négociant partnerships. Led vinously by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier following Jacques Lardière's legendary 42-year tenure, the cellar employs an ethos of minimal intervention: utilizing native yeast fermentations, extended macerations, and judicious, restrained new oak aging tailored to highlight each distinct climat. Spanning village terroirs up to coveted Grand Cru climats across limestone and clay-rich slopes, Jadot's benchmark expressions include Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules (monopole), Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles, and Musigny, each crafted to achieve immense ageability, structural purity, and site transparency.
