A fresh and fruity Burgundy Premier Cru red wine

The property

The Louis Jadot House, established since 1859, is a true reference in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owner of prestigious vineyard plots, the Louis Jadot House perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation by offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

Pierre-Henry Gagey, who has been at the head of the Louis Jadot House since 1992, handed over his position in September 2022 to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the General Management to his son Thibault Gagey.

The vineyard

This 1er cru "Clos des Ursules" Monopole 2023 from the Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot is a Beaune wine from a vineyard located between Savigny-lès-Beaune to the north and Pommard to the south, one of the most extensive in the Côte de Beaune. Acquired in 1826 by Louis Jadot, the "Clos des Ursules" is a walled micro-plot within the Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vignes Franches".

The vintage

The mild and dry winter delays the vine cycle. After a late bud break, the vine grows vigorously in May. Flowering is early with beautiful bunches. Some storms in July alleviate the lack of water, and veraison begins. August sees a heatwave followed by beneficial rains. The harvest begins in early September in high heat. The white wines show a beautiful acidity, the red wines are dense with ripe tannins. The vintage has a good balance and promises a long aging, with wines with clear and pure aromas.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, the grapes are carefully destemmed and vinified in open vats for about 4 weeks. After devatting, the wines are barrelled in oak barrels in the estate's cellars for an aging period of 18 months.

Blend

Pinot noir (100%).
