The property

The House of Louis Jadot, established since 1859, is a true reference in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owner of prestigious vineyard plots, the Maison Louis Jadot perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation, offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

Pierre-Henry Gagey, at the head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, handed over his position in September 2022 to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the General Management to his son Thibault Gagey.

The vineyard

This Grèves Grand Cru Domaine Louis Jadot 2020 is a Corton wine made from a southeast-facing plot that gets its uniqueness from its siliceous soil.
