Louis Jadot : Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er cru "Clos des Guettes" Dom. Gagey 2021

The finesse and precision of a Savigny Beaune Premier Cru wine

The estate

Established since 1859, Maison Louis Jadot is a true benchmark in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of a plot of land in 1826. Its trading activity led to its swift international recognition. Today and since 1992, the house is managed by Pierre-Henry Gagey and still ensures that Burgundy wines remain accessible to those who love high-quality wines.

At the head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey entrusted his position to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and role of General Manager to his son Thibault Gagey in September 2022.

The vineyard

This "Clos des Guettes" Domaine Gagey 2021 by Louis Jadot is a Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er cru wine stemming from a vineyard situated between 220 and 360 metres above sea level, on gravelly or stony limestone soils depending on the plot.

The vintage

2021 is a year marked by severe frost at the beginning of April and unstable weather conditions throughout the year. Despite a below-average harvest, the quality is reflected through the floral and well-balanced white wines as well as vibrant, full and aromatic red wines.

Vinification and ageing

The hand-picked grapes are gently pressed before fermentation in oak barrels from the estate's cooperage (1/3 of which are new). Aged for around 15 months on fine lees.

The blend

Chardonnay (100%).
