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.

The exposed Clos du Roy to the south-east of the Chenôve commune benefits from a dry soil composed of marl, chalk, and clay. The grapes are vinified for four weeks before ageing in oak barrels for 12 to 15 months. This wine has an intense colour and an explosive bouquet of wild blackberry, dried fruit, and blackcurrant. In time, musky notes will develop. The palate is quite tannic with a nicely supple character. Will pair well with a roasted meat dish or a refined cheese.
