Producer Information: Louis Jadot
Louis Jadot is based in Beaune, at the heart of Burgundy, France. Founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, the house began as a family-run négociant and vineyard owner, focusing on expressing the unique terroirs of Burgundy. Their production approach emphasizes traditional Burgundian methods, including careful vineyard management and minimal intervention winemaking to preserve the character of each appellation. The company owns significant vineyard holdings across Côte d’Or and works closely with growers throughout Burgundy to ensure consistent quality.
Beyond their celebrated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines from prestigious sites like Clos Vougeot and Meursault, Louis Jadot offers an extensive portfolio that includes varietals such as Gamay from Beaujolais and Aligoté from regional Bourgogne appellations. They also produce Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wines using classic grape varieties. While primarily focused on wine, Louis Jadot has expanded its reach through collaborations with other producers for select spirits projects but does not operate a dedicated distillery or brewery under its own label. Their diverse offerings cater to both collectors seeking grand cru bottlings and casual drinkers looking for approachable village-level wines.

Pinot Noir is a renowned red wine grape variety celebrated for its delicate and nuanced flavors. Originating primarily from Burgundy in France, this light to medium-bodied wine showcases vibrant notes of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, complemented by earthy undertones and subtle spices. The aromas often include floral hints like rose and herbal nuances, with a touch of vanilla derived from aging in French oak barrels.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes such as grilled salmon, duck breast, or roasted chicken with herbs. Its silky tannins and smooth finish make it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and formal occasions. Winemaking techniques like cold soaking for color extraction and fermentation with wild yeasts enhance its complexity while malolactic fermentation contributes to its softness, making Pinot Noir a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
