Louis Jadot is a renowned producer of Meursault, a white wine that hails from the Burgundy region of France. The history of Meursault dates back to the Middle Ages, when the monks of the Cîteaux Abbey first began cultivating grapes in the area. Today, Meursault is considered one of the finest white wines in the world, and Louis Jadot is one of the most respected producers of this varietal.

The style of production for Louis Jadot's Meursault is traditional and meticulous. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted, and then gently pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented in oak barrels, which imparts a rich, complex flavor to the wine. The wine is aged in these barrels for up to 18 months, during which time it develops its characteristic buttery, nutty flavor.

Louis Jadot produces several different types of Meursault, each with its own unique flavor profile. Their Meursault Premier Cru is made from grapes grown in the best vineyards in the region, and is known for its intense, complex flavor. Their Meursault Village is a more affordable option, but still boasts the rich, buttery flavor that is characteristic of the varietal. Finally, their Meursault Charmes is a rare and highly sought-after wine that is made from grapes grown in the Charmes vineyard, which is considered one of the best in the region.

Overall, Louis Jadot's Meursault is a wine that is steeped in history and tradition, and is made with the utmost care and attention to detail. From the hand-picked grapes to the oak barrel aging, every step of the production process is carefully monitored to ensure the highest quality. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or a casual drinker, this wine is sure to impress with its rich, complex flavor and elegant, refined finish.

The 2021 Meursault reveals notes of peach, pear, beeswax, nutmeg and smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and textural palate underpinned by lively acids and concluding with a nicely defined finish. One of Jadot's larger cuvées, this has turned out nicely.
Aromas of buttery orchard fruit, hazelnuts, white flowers and beeswax introduce the 2020 Meursault Village (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine underpinned by tangy acids and chalky grip. Concluding with a saline finish, it's a fine effort that represents one of the house's larger cuvées.
Aromas of buttered toast, honeyed peaches, white flowers, and mint introduce the 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, layered, and enveloping wine that's satiny and sumptuous, with lively acids and fine depth at the core. This Montrachet -purchased from the Chassagne-Montrachet side, from the house's usual source -is undeniably promising.
There are nine barrels of the 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru, a broad-shouldered, powerful wine that offers up aromas of pear, white flowers, buttered citrus, and warm bread. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered, and fleshy, with a rounded, muscular profile and a long, resonant finish.
Aromas of crisp peach, mandarin oil, orange blossom and mint introduce the 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, ample wine with a broad, textural attack and juicy balancing acids, though it can't match the density or cut of the stunning Chevalier Demoiselles from Domaine fruit.
The 2015 Montrachet Grand Cru has a potent nose with dried honey and blackberry leaf, orange blossom and cold stone developing in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, viscous, almost waxy in texture with decent weight on the finish, although this year the Chevalier-Montrachet is in possession of more personality and race.

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.
