✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Louis Jadot's Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Chapelle Rouge is a historic monopole cuv e produced under an exclusive agreement with the Domaine Duc de Magenta. This exceptional walled vineyard (clos) is situated within the larger Morgeot Premier Cru climat and takes its name from the historic chapel on the property, which has roots tracing back to the medieval monks of the Abbey of Maizi res. Although Chassagne-Montrachet is modernly famous for its white wines, its red Pinot Noir wines have a storied past, offering a more robust, structured, and earthy profile than their northern neighbors. Vinified traditionally in open oak vats and aged for 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels, this wine showcases a beautiful balance of wild red berries, forest floor, and elegant, age-worthy tannins.
🍾 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.
