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
- BH91–94
- Here the nose is quite similar to that of the Grèves other than it's just a bit more elegant as the fruit is just a touch higher-toned. The sense of having just a bit more refinement present is reinforced by the more obviously mineral-driven medium weight flavors where the supporting tannins are not quite as austere, all wrapped in a notably firm finish that delivers stunningly good length. This will also need plenty of time Range:91-94
- WA92–94
- The 2012 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru is earthier than its fellow Cortons, unfolding in the glass to reveal broody, tertiary brambly red fruit, briary and a whiff of wet limestone. The palate is well defined with fine tannins and good matiere. It is very focused, quite serious with impressive mineralite lining the long finish. This is a sophisticated Corton-Pougets for long-term ageing. Range: 92-94
