Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Maison Louis Jadot 1999

The wine

Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Guettes is aged in barrels for about fifteen months. It exudes beautiful aromas of red fruits (cherry, blackcurrant), while suppleness and finesse abound on the palate. This wine will pair very well with white meats or fine red meats and many cheeses.

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.
