Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Louis Jadot (Domaine) 2012

The wine

Louis Jadot is the second largest estate (in hectares) out of the 80 that produce the Clos de Vougeot. The soil is calcareous with varying degrees of clay and plenty of stones which facilitate drainage in the vineyards. The Clos de Vougeot has a beautiful ruby colour. It has a beautiful intense aroma made up of concentrated fragrances of red fruits, coffee and liquorice. This rich and fleshy wine has pronounced tannins and a long-lasting taste in the mouth.

About the Producer Louis Jadot (domaine)

The Jadot house, in Beaune, is one of the most prestigious in Burgundy; it produces nearly all the Burgundy appellations. Now owned by a wealthy American family, the wines are produced under the management of Frédéric Barnier who ensures great regularity for the bottles. This is indeed why the Jadot house stands out in Burgundy: over 225 hectares and 130 appellations (Côte d'Or, but also Mâcon and Beaujolais), the vast price range will satisfy everybody’s tastes. The legendary head of Bacchus is always on the label. The domain uses traditional wine-making methods: a long fermentation and maturing. Chemical herbicides are prohibited and yields are strictly limited.
