Santenay Clos de Malte Louis Jadot 2008

The wine

This white Santenay comes from a chalk-clay terroir and underwent fermentation in barrels, as well as a maturation in barrels for 15-17 months. To taste, it reveals a profile marked by a superb minerality and a fine freshness with its aromas of white fruits. This is a wine that can be appreciated as easily in its youth as after several years of ageing.

About the Producer Louis Jadot (domaine)

The Jadot house, in Beaune, is one of the most prestigious in Burgundy; it produces nearly all the Burgundy appellations. Now owned by a wealthy American family, the wines are produced under the management of Frédéric Barnier who ensures great regularity for the bottles. This is indeed why the Jadot house stands out in Burgundy: over 225 hectares and 130 appellations (Côte d'Or, but also Mâcon and Beaujolais), the vast price range will satisfy everybody’s tastes. The legendary head of Bacchus is always on the label. The domain uses traditional wine-making methods: a long fermentation and maturing. Chemical herbicides are prohibited and yields are strictly limited.
