Log in / Sign up Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2021
Founded in 1859 by Louis Jadot, Maison Louis Jadot has always been situated in the centre of Beaune in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards. Managed by three generations of the Jadot family and then by the Gagey family assisted by Jacques Lardière in the cellar, Jadot is now directed by Pierre Henry Gagey, who has introduced a new wine making team, Frédéric Barnier and Guillaume Large. Since careful ageing in wooden barrels is so very important for the balance, aromas and the ageing potential of a great wine, in 1996, Louis Jadot entered into partnership with a firm of coopers, forming Cadus Cooperage, established in Ladoix Serrigny. This allows them to control their wood sourcing and the barrel production. Maison Louis Jadot now controls 105 hectares in Burgundy with more than 70 hectares in the Côte d'Or, exclusively in Premier and Grand Cru. They produce both negociant wines under the Maison Louis Jadot label and a number of Domaines: Gagey, Duc de Magenta, Louis Jadot and Héritiers de Louis Jadot.
Pinot Noir pairs well with a variety of dishes, particularly grilled salmon, roast chicken, or mushroom-based dishes.
The unusually perfumed nose reveals notes of red currant, earth, and a subtle hint of exotic spice.
Mirroring the aromatic profile, the palate showcases an unusually suave texture with round and delicious medium-bodied flavors. The wine brims with sappy dry extract, buffering the compact, firm, and sneakily long finish, suggesting fine development potential.
