Louis Jadot Description

Founded in 1859, by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, he was the first of his family to arrive in Beaune from Belgium in 1794 and soon began purchasing Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. With grape growing a part of his heritage, Louis Henry set about gaining experience first in the cellars, in the evaluation of wines, and then in the vineyards, in the study of viticulture. The house of Louis Jadot has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and currently owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots. 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 venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses.

James Suckling: 92 Points

Here is an ideal introduction to the red wines of the 2019 vintage in Burgundy. Very charming nose of cherries that leads into the ripe and round palate. But this is also structured, thanks to the moderately dry tannins, which provide backbone and also, together with the acidity, freshness. Drink or hold.

Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points

Fresh blueberries are accented by dried rose petals and graphite in this youthful, bright-fruited Pinot Noir. Full bodied but crisply balanced by tart redcurrant acidity, it's a mouthwatering, delicately tannic red best enjoyed through 2026.

Wine Advocate: 88-90 Points

Bursting with aromas of cherries, red berries and spices, Jadot's 2019 Santenay Clos de Malte (Domaine Louis Jadot) is medium-bodied, bright and lively, with a pretty core of fruit and chalky grip on the finish.
