Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Maison Louis Jadot 2006

The wine

Griotte-Chambertin of Louis Jadot comes from the town of Gevrey Chambertin, north of the Côte de Nuits. The vineyard of Morello cherries is located on the southern part of the town, on a fairly deep limestone soil and some clayey marls. The wine, aged for 20 months, has a beautiful hue and an intense bouquet (cherry, red fruits). Its dense and silky structure on the palate is extremely pleasant. Wine for aging par excellence, it can be preserved for 20 years, and the better vintages for even longer.

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.
