About the Brand

Points of Distinction

Since 1859, one of the most venerable wine houses in Burgundy.
Jacques Lardière has been Maison Louis Jadot's technical director since 1970. He is acknowledged as one of Burgundy's finest winemakers.
Owns 280 acres of the Côte d'Or's most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
Places equal importance on the wines of each of Burgundy's appellations, whether village wines or Grands Crus.
Vinification balances tradition and technology, focusing on the purest expression of each wine's terroir.
Restrained use of new oak maturation allows terroir to shine.

In Burgundy's Côte d'Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot's esteemed winemaker, Jacques Lardière, and his team have maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking. This allows Jadot's wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy.

Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands, and now owns 528 acres of vineyards, including 280 acres of the Cote d'Or's most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.

Pinot Noir

Louis Jadot has recently completed a winery dedicated exclusively to the production of its Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Jadot's numerous long-term relationships with wine growers guarantee that the highest-quality fruit is sourced every year from vineyards across the Burgundy appellation. To further elevate the quality, Jadot practices réplis, or declassifying some wines of higher appellations, which are added to the final blend.

TASTING NOTE

This medium-bodied wine is harmonious, with forward, plump fruit and a silky texture balanced by gentle tannins and elegant structure. The very typical Pinot aromas and flavors of red cherries and wild strawberries are complemented by a delicious, lingering finish.

FOOD PAIRING

Pairs with red meats, roasts, pork tenderloin and soft cheeses.

POINTS OF DISTINCTION

An affordable red Burgundy from the region's foremost producer
A proportion of superior village-level wines is added in most vintages to optimize the quality of the final blend.
A versatile pairing with many meats and cheeses

ABOUT THE GRAPE

Pinot Noir makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes.
