Louis Jadot Meursault "Les Charmes" 1er Cru 2021
Maison Louis Jadot, custodian of over 150 hectares of Burgundian vineyards, including 70 hectares in the esteemed Côte d’Or, boasts a portfolio comprising Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot, Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Gagey, and Domaine du Duc de Magenta. Founded in 1859 by Louis Henri Denis Jadot, the House underwent significant expansion, with subsequent generations contributing to its development until the pivotal sale to Rudi Kopf’s Kobrand in 1985. This infusion of capital facilitated substantial investments, notably in vineyard acquisitions such as Chateau des Jacques in Beaujolais and the renowned Cadus Tonnellerie.
President Pierre-Henri Gagey, who assumed the role in 1992, succeeded his father André Gagey, while the lineage continues with Thibault Gagey as Deputy General Manager. In January 2013, Frederic Bernier assumed the position of Chief Winemaker, succeeding the esteemed Jacques Lardiere, who now oversees the Jadot Oregon project, Resonance Vineyard.
