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.

Saint-Aubin is a wine appellation located in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, situated between the more famous villages of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The appellation was established in 1937 and covers vineyards in the communes of Saint-Aubin and Gamay. The village sits in a valley that extends westward from the main Côte d'Or escarpment, with vineyards positioned on both south and east-facing slopes.

The appellation's terroir consists primarily of limestone and marl soils typical of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards benefit from a continental climate with the moderating influence of the nearby hills. While both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are permitted, Chardonnay dominates the production, particularly in the Premier Cru vineyards. The appellation includes 29 Premier Cru climats, with notable sites like Les Charmois, Le Chatenière, and Murgers des Dents de Chien representing some of the finest expressions of the terroir.

Saint-Aubin Chardonnays typically display more minerality and restraint compared to their neighbors in Chassagne-Montrachet or Puligny-Montrachet. The wines often show citrus and white flower aromatics with a distinctive chalky minerality, reflecting the limestone-rich soils. Premier Cru bottlings tend to offer greater concentration and aging potential while maintaining the appellation's characteristic freshness and elegance.
