Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi Maison Louis Jadot 2013

The wine

Nothing could spoil the Corton grand cru’s reputation, especially not Maison Louis Jadot which has created this wine that is at once sophisticated, profound and complex. Marked by primary notes in its youth, it becomes more complex over time with more grilled, even animal, notes. With a generous texture, balanced by superb freshness, it can be enjoyed young just as much as after around 15 years in the cellar. As you can see, this isn’t one to let pass you by.

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.
