Its Origins
In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
What The Critics Say
Producer Note
The production area for this wine is the whole of Burgundy. The Louis Jadot Bourgogne Pinot Noir Couvent des Jacobins "cuvée" comes from a balanced blend of Côte d'Or, including Hautes Côte de Beaune and Hautes Côte de Nuits, Côte Chalonnaise (Mercurey) and Auxerrois (Irancy). The wine is quite complex because of the different grapes origin : Côte de Nuits, Saône et Loire and Irancy will give structure and tannins whilst Hautes Côtes will gives fruitiness. Our Bourgogne Pinot Noir Couvent des Jacobins is vinified in vats by different growers with different styles (depending on the area where the grapes are coming from). The wine is then aged partly in oak barrels and partly in vats during 9 to 16 months before bottling.
Vinous, Neal Martin (2017 vintage)
"The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, quite linear in the mouth, nicely balanced with blackcurrant pastille and a touch of cassis towards the finish. Fine." Drink 2021 - 2035
Rated #60 in the Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2018 (2015 vintage)
"Infused with graphite and cherry aromas and flavors, this red is expressive and silky, with a good underlying structure for balance." (90 points) Drink 2018 - 2023
