The Winery

Maison Louis Jadot

The etched Bacchus on the backdrop of the inimitable yellow label synonymous with Maison Louis Jadot has been a hallmark of quality wines for nearly two hundred years. The profile has grown substantially since the early 19th century when the Jadot family owned only the Clos des Ursules plot. Today, Maison Jadot has vinified wines from over 100 hectares throughout the Cote d’ Or. The essence of expressing the terroirs within Burgundy is a formidable task. The mosaic created by Jadot’s winemaking team can be treasured from wine-lovers at all levels. Whether it is from a regional view spanning the Beaune and Nuits or more intimately from within crus of one village, the artisan appreciation of Jadot’s wine profile can be a life-long study. Take a moment to expand your own wine profile with some great bottles from a French treasure.

Tasting Notes

WA90–92
The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a feminine, elegant and pure bouquet with Vosne-like pretentions: well defined and equipped with ebullient red fruit. The palate is very well balanced with a succulent and fleshy opening; the tannins making their present felt towards the second half. My one criticism is that at the moment it is missing a little depth and persistency on the sharp and slightly angular finish. Range: 90-92
WS92
The pure cherry and raspberry flavors are driven by vivid acidity and a firm base of tannins, keeping this lean and tense, with an innate minerality. Still a bit tight and compact on the finish, but this finds equilibrium with some sweet fruit. Best from 2019 through 2032.
