Louis Jadot, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru AOC

About Louis Jadot

Maison Louis Jadot is a winery that was founded by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in 1859. The first vineyard bought by the Jadot family is the Beaune vineyard, Clos des Ursules, in 1826. The family wine company produces and markets Burgundy wine. It operates both its own vineyards and buys grapes from other growers. It controls 270 hectares of vineyards in Burgundy and produces only Appellation d Origine Controlee wines. Louis Jadot also owns vineyards in the Maconnais region: Domaine Ferret in Fuisse and the Beaujolais region in Moulin Vent: Ch teau des Jacques. In 1996, Louis Jadot partnered with Tonnellerie Vicard and created its own cooperage called Cadus, to produce French oak barrels crafted in the Burgundian tradition with the whites, the producer often partially blocks the malolactic fermentation to retain acidity and finesse, and the reds are fermented at unusually high temperatures and macerated for up to a month, endowing them with the depth of fruit and complexity. All the wines of Maison Louis Jadot bear the same label. Together, the head of Bacchus, the decorative frieze, and a particular shade of yellow are instantly recognizable, stamping the wine in the bottle as belonging to the Jadot stable. It s a sign of their commitment to quality regardless of whether that wine is a simple Burgundy or an exalted Grand Cru.
