The elegance and balance of a Burgundy Red wine

The estate

The House of Louis Jadot, 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 House of Louis Jadot perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation, offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

Pierre-Henry Gagey, who has been at the head of the House of Louis Jadot 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

Famous Burgundy village located in the North of the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin has 26 Premiers Crus and 8 Grands Crus including the Clos Saint-Jacques. Located at the start of the Combe de Lavaux fault, the Clos Saint-Jacques faces southeast and rests on limestone soils also composed of clay marls. This Gevrey-Chambertin wine illustrates all the nobility and uniqueness of the pinot noir born on one of the most prestigious terroirs of Burgundy.
