Maison Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most historic domaines and a reference that has contributed to the renown of the wines of Burgundy worldwide.

Founded in 1859 by Louis Henri Denis Jadot, the estate has expanded over the following generations with the acquisition of plots in the best Grand Crus. In 1985, the Jadot family decided to sell the company to the Kopf family, its importer in the United States, and today they are still the present owners.

Currently, the Maison Louis Jadot manages over 240 hectares of vineyards in between Burgundy and Beaujolais, from which they produce fresh, fruity wines under a regional designation, as well as more refined and complex wines when they come from 1st Crus and Grand Crus. They have various production facilities across the Côte d'Or and Beaujolais, as well as their own cooperage, Cadus.

The Puligny-Montrachet AOC comes from the vineyards located around the towns of Puligny and Montrachet as well as in the municipality of Blagny. The vines grow on a gentle slope facing east at 230-390 meters above sea level, on rocky and well drained calcareous soils.

Harvested manually in small boxes, the grapes are gently pressed, fermented in barrels, of which a third is new oak. Aged for 15 months on its fine lees.

Ageing potential of up to 15 years

Tasting notes: Pale golden yellow. It has all the classic elements of fine Burgundy; aromas of exotic fruits, white flowers, almond, peach, banana, honeydew melon. Te palate is creamy and soft with good fruit weight, quite mineral with volume and a lengthy dry finish.
