"Founded in 1859 by Monsieur Louis Jadot, Maison Louis Jadot has always been located in the heart of Beaune, at the center of the vineyard. Housed in a 19th-century townhouse, it features magnificent cellars connected to the Couvent des Jacobins, just steps away.
 
 
The Maison was led by three generations of the Jadot family, then for 30 years by Monsieur André Gagey. Today, it is run by his son Pierre-Henry, assisted by Monsieur Jacques Lardière, the Maison’s winemaker for over 40 years, before passing the torch to Monsieur Frédéric Barnier.
 
 
The Pommard vineyard lies between Beaune to the north and Volnay to the south. Positioned on a slope in the middle of the vineyard, it faces east or southeast. The commune of Pommard produces only red wines, with no Grand Cru vineyards.
 
 
Harvesting is done by hand into small crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The grapes are then carefully hand-sorted and destemmed. Maceration takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks.
 
 
Aging lasts about 18 months in barrels from our cooperage, approximately one-third of which are new."
