Nothing could stain the reputation of the Corton grand cru, and certainly not Maison Louis Jadot which here presents a bottle that is at once deep and complex.  More info

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.

Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi Maison Louis Jadot serve at a temperature of 15°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Filet de veau aux girolles, Galantine de faisan, Goulasch de veau.

    Information about domain Louis Jadot

    Louis Henry Denis Jadot created his own house in 1859 at a time when winemaking was flourishing in Burgundy and the region was creating its structure. Quickly, he developed a bustling trade business with northern European countries, especially because his family was originally from Belgium. His son Louis-Jean-Baptiste followed him and developed the vineyard, while his grandson Louis-Auguste favoured exporting the wine to English-speaking countries after the war. In 1954, André Gagey joined the flourishing family business and took over the reins in 1962 following the premature death of Louis-Auguste. In 1970 - a significant date for the house - Jacques Lardière, a young œnologist, joined the team and gave the house the burst of energy it needed.
    In 1985, Madame Jadot decided to ensure the company's financial future and sell it to the Rudy Kopf family, the long-time, US importer of the company's wines. Today, Thomas Seiter manages the famous house, located in the heart of Beaune. Along with Château des Jacques in Moulin-à-Vent and Domaine Ferret in Pouilly-Fuissé, Maison Louis Jadot has several other vineyards to its name, coving some 154 hectares of vines in Côte d’Or, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais. We can count 70 hectares in Côte d’Or which are essentially all grand and premier cru plots shared between Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Gagey, Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot and Domaine du Duc de Magenta.
