Burgundy, France
Maison Louis Jadot’s story can’t be reduced to a simple list of dates. It is, above all, a summary of moments, meetings and an overall philosophy, all based on one simple vision: to maintain the grandeur of Burgundy’s great terroirs for all time.
It all began with a parcel of vines. And we all know just how important these individual bits of land are in Burgundy. It was with the purchase of the Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules that the story of Maison Louis Jadot began in 1826. For nearly 200 years they have focused their energies on promoting Burgundy and its viticultural heritage. Ever since the birth of Maison Louis Jadot, they have managed to reunite hundreds of parcels of vines, handing them down from one generation to another in order to guarantee the quality of the wines from this unique terroir.

More Info
The small village of Lugny is one of the most famous areas in the Mâconnais producing exceptional white wines (made from 100% Chardonnay grapes). The vineyards are located on the "Mont du Mâconnais" where the limestone subsoil is ideal for growing the Chardonnay grapes (brown calcic soils). The yields are low in order for the grapes to reveal the nuances of each terroir.
Decanter Magazine, Dec/2016

"Notes of ripe stone fruit and white flowers are followed by a palate endowed with greater amplitude, texture and concentration than Jadot's Macon-Villages. More serious stuff, and expressive already."
