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.

Beaune is a wine appellation located in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France. The town of Beaune serves as the commercial center of Burgundy wine trade and houses many of the region's most established négociant houses. The appellation encompasses vineyards on the slopes surrounding the historic town, with premier cru sites located on the mid-slopes of the côte.

The appellation's vineyards benefit from the limestone and clay soils typical of the Côte de Beaune, with premier cru sites positioned on well-drained slopes with optimal sun exposure. Pinot Noir dominates the production, planted primarily on the red clay and limestone soils, while Chardonnay is grown in smaller quantities on plots better suited to white wine production. The continental climate with warm summers and cool autumns allows for gradual ripening of both varieties.

Beaune red wines typically display the elegant, medium-bodied character associated with Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir, showing red fruit flavors with earthy undertones and moderate tannins. Premier cru sites like Grèves, Clos du Roi, and Les Avaux each contribute distinct characteristics based on their specific terroir. The small production of white Beaune offers crisp Chardonnay with mineral notes and restrained oak influence, reflecting the appellation's focus on finesse over power.
