Louis Jadot : Clos de la Roche Grand cru 2021

Louis Jadot produces a harmonious and refined Clos de la Roche Grand Cru wine

The estate

The Maison Louis Jadot, established in 1859, is a real benchmark in Burgundy. The family venture began with the acquisition of the famous Beaune Premier Cru Ursules vineyard in 1826.
The house then made its name through trade, which has today won it international acclaim, especially across the Atlantic. The Maison Louis Jadot sets out to carry on the idea of a Burgundy accessible to all lovers of quality wine across a wide range of products from regional appellations, Villages, Premiers Crus and Grand Crus.
Head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey entrusted his position to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the rôle of General Manager to his son Thibault.

The vineyard

This Louis Jadot 2021 Grand cru is a wine from Clos de la Roche, an appellation in the heart of Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. The Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is next to the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, facing full east on naturally clay-limestone soils.

Winemaking and ageing

During the harvest done by hand, the grapes were stored in small baskets to preserve the essential qualities of the fruit. Once in the cellar, the grape ripening took place in wooden or stainless steel vats. During fermentation, the cap was trodden twice each day. Finally, the wine was aged for 18 months in casks made by Maison Louis Jadot’s own cooperage.

Blend

Pinot noir (100%)
