Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 2022

Maison Louis Jadot is a true pillar of Burgundy, a négociant and domaine hybrid that has built an empire of trust over its nearly 170-year history. Founded in 1859, the house is celebrated for its ability to produce a vast and consistent portfolio of wines, from humble regional appellations to the most hallowed Grand Crus. This remarkable feat is achieved through their unwavering commitment to quality, a philosophy that balances tradition with modern technology.

They’ve been led for decades now by winemaking legend Jacques Lardière along with Frédéric Barnier, prioritizing a non-interventionist approach, seeking to allow the unique terroir of each vineyard to speak for itself. They famously own one of the largest portfolios of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte d’Or, a significant advantage that allows them to maintain a level of quality and consistency unmatched by most of their peers.

Nowhere is this philosophy more evident than in their Gevrey-Chambertin. The village is known as the “king” of the Côte de Nuits, producing powerful, structured, and often masculine Pinot Noirs. Louis Jadot’s Gevrey-Chambertin is a masterful expression of this character, consistently delivering a wine that embodies the commune’s essence. It showcases a deep color with a bouquet of multifaceted red and dark berry fruit, underpinned by a full tannic structure and an earthy, savory quality.
