Chambertin Grand Cru Maison Louis Jadot 2012

The wine

Gevrey Chambertin is a town located north of the Côte de Nuits, which has 26 first crus and 8 grands crus, including the Chambertin, located on a limestone soil deep and clayey surface. The Chambertin of Maison Jadot is fleshy, full-bodied, tannic and generous, with pleasant aromas of liquorice and sous-bois. It should be kept for several years in the cellar before tasting.

About the Producer Louis Jadot

Based in Beaune, it combines historic stature with remarkable vitality, continuing to attract leading figures of the wine world to shape and interpret its many terroirs. Now owned by an American family, the wines are crafted under the assured direction of Frédéric Barnier, who safeguards the house’s hallmark precision and consistency. These unwavering standards are what sets Maison Jadot apart in Burgundy. With 225 hectares under vine and representation across 130 appellations, not only in the Côte d’Or but also in the Mâconnais and Beaujolais, wine lovers can expect genuine pleasure at every price level, always easily identifiable by the iconic Bacchus head on the label. The estate favours traditional winemaking methods, with slow fermentations and extended ageing. Chemical herbicides are prohibited and yields are strictly limited. A house where scale never eclipses identity, and tradition continues to shape every bottle.
