Louis Jadot is practically synonymous with Burgundy, particularly within the Maconnais. And you’d be forgiven given the raw number of wines they produce each year for thinking that they were just a huge corporate negociant. But the fact is that they have one of the most impressive collection of vineyard holdings in the country – well over 500 acres including 280 of Premier and Grand Cru Cote d’Or vineyards.
With their immense acreage under management in their portfolio, they have their pick of some of the best vineyards in all of Burgundy, giving them a few legs up over the majority of their competition. Robert Parker, Jr. himself said of the winery, “This is an extraordinary house where quality is the highest priority.” They remain the only Burgundian negociant included in his iconic “World’s Great Wine Estates” report.
Their innovation and foresight has set them apart as has their dedication to the process. The winery is so meticulous about each step that they even started their own oak barrel cooperage, Cadus in order to make wines that best bring out the Burgundian expression.
But with all the regions and categories that Jadot has a stronghold on, it’s perplexing that they’re so far behind in America’s hottest category: pink wines. For such an iconic brand, I was certainly surprised when I got an email with a one time “introductory pricing” on a 30-case order. An introduction to Louis Jadot? Okay, I guess. I didn’t know anyone needed one.

Lydia Cornu’s newly released Haut-Côtes-du-Beaune is quintessential Red Burgundy. It’s made from super old vines and a low yield, with no new oak in the aging process. The wine is an absolute joy to drink– a bowl full of berries on the nose, high-toned, racy fruit in the mid palate with the structure and length that is the hallmark of Cornu-Camus wines. It’s delicious now and will be delicious in a decade. It’s the kind of Red Burgundy value that is ridiculous hard to match.
I’ve forewarned Nicholas Wines customers that the 2022 vintage in Burgundy appears to be outstanding. As such, I’ve been stocking up on as much as I can. This one though is a Saturday Nighter – a special wine for sure. It comes from Fourchaume (one of the most noted Chablis 1ers crus) and vineyards situated on long slopes facing the sunrise, which allow for rapid soil warm up – a huge key to making deep, concentrated Chablis. Here the soils are predominantly brown clay and only slightly stony. Most of them are fairly deep and well-draining. It’s one of those most special white wine locations in all of Burgundy. This is a classic.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
