Louis Jadot - Echezeaux - Grand Cru



91-93  pts - The Wine Advocate

"The 2013 Echezeaux has a very refined bouquet with delineated raspberry, crushed strawberry and Morello cherry scents that are underpinned by fine mineral notes. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, fine acidity and quite a linear finish that will need time to really get into its stride. It comes across as a light, polite Echezeaux at present." Robert Parker

Maison Louis Jadot owns over 60 hectares of vineyard, many of them premier and grand cru, and in Jacques Lardière has one of the most respected winemakers working in Burgundy today, from impressive purpose built cellars on the road to Savigny-les-Beaunes.

Founded in 1859 the company is today run by Pierre-Henri Gagey, assisted by head winemaker Jacques Lardière who has been responsible for the company’s wines since 1970.
 
Recent developments have included the establishment of the tonnellerie Cadus in Ladoix-Serrigny and expansion of the modern winery facilities on the Route de Savigny, with a new white-wine vinification centre completed in 2009. On the vineyard front there have been purchases in the Mâconnais (Domaine Ferret) and the Beaujolais, notably with the Château des Jacques in Moulin-à-Vent and the Château de Bellevue in Morgon.
