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

BH93
A slightly riper nose of orchard fruit, white pear, citrus peel and brioche notes combines with powerful, driving and mouth coating big-bodied flavors that possess excellent mid-palate fat that buffers the solid acid spine on the hugely long finish that doesn't quite have the vivacity I would normally expect though this is probably due to the recent manipulations during the bottle. Benefit of the doubt extended.
WA91
Jadot’s 2008 Batard-Montrachet is quite a bit different from the 2009 and 2010. Honey, hazelnuts, butter, mint, spices and mature apricots are all woven together in the glass. Quite frankly, I am surprised by how forward and evolved the 2008 is today. This is considerably more advanced than I expect from a grand cru white in 2008. I would not wait too long on the 2008 Batard.
