Louis Jadot is a Burgundy négociant house established in Beaune in 1859. The company operates from the Côte de Beaune and produces wines across multiple Burgundy appellations, from village-level bottlings to Grand Cru vineyards. As both a négociant and vineyard owner, Louis Jadot sources grapes from contracted growers while also maintaining their own estate vineyards throughout Burgundy.

The house follows traditional Burgundian winemaking practices, focusing primarily on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Their wines span the full hierarchy of Burgundy appellations, from regional Bourgogne to prestigious Grand Cru sites. The Côte de Beaune, where they are based, is particularly known for producing some of Burgundy's finest white wines, especially from appellations like Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet, while also yielding elegant Pinot Noir from villages such as Volnay and Beaune.

Louis Jadot's current range includes wines from premier sites including Bâtard-Montrachet and Chapelle-Chambertin at the Grand Cru level, Premier Cru bottlings from appellations like Morey-Saint-Denis, and village wines from across the Côte d'Or. They also produce Chablis from the northern reaches of Burgundy and extend into Beaujolais, working with Gamay in addition to their core Burgundian varietals.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Pouilly-Fuissé is an appellation d'origine contrôlée located in the Mâconnais district of southern Burgundy, France. The appellation encompasses four communes: Chaintré, Fuissé, Solutré-Pouilly, and Vergisson. The vineyards are situated on limestone-rich slopes surrounding the distinctive rock formations of Solutré and Vergisson, which rise dramatically from the valley floor and serve as geological landmarks of the region.

The appellation's terroir is characterized by Jurassic limestone soils with varying amounts of clay and marl, creating diverse microclimates across different vineyard sites. Only Chardonnay is permitted under the appellation rules, and the wines must achieve higher minimum alcohol levels than neighboring Mâcon appellations. The vineyards benefit from southeastern exposure on steep slopes, providing optimal sun exposure while the limestone subsoil offers excellent drainage and mineral complexity. In 2020, the appellation introduced its first premier cru classifications, recognizing 22 specific climats with superior terroir.

Pouilly-Fuissé wines typically display greater concentration and complexity than other Mâconnais whites, with characteristic mineral backbone derived from the limestone soils. The wines often exhibit citrus and stone fruit flavors in their youth, developing nutty and honeyed notes with age. The limestone influence contributes a distinctive chalky minerality and crisp acidity that provides structure and aging potential, allowing the finest examples to develop for a decade or more.
