The estate

The Louis Jadot House, 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 Louis Jadot House perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation, offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

Pierre-Henry Gagey, who has been at the head of the Louis Jadot House 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 Pernand-Vergelesses Village "Les Combottes" Domaine Gagey from Louis Jadot is a Burgundy wine made from vines located on brown limestone soils.

The vintage

The mild and dry winter delays the vine cycle. After a late bud break, the vine grows vigorously in May. Flowering is early with beautiful bunches. Some storms in July alleviate the lack of water, and veraison begins. August sees a heatwave followed by beneficial rains. The harvest begins in early September in high heat. The white wines show a beautiful acidity, the red wines are dense with ripe tannins. The vintage presents a good balance and promises a long ageing, with wines with clear and pure aromas.

Vinification and ageing

After manual harvesting, the berries undergo gentle pressing, then are fermented in barrels (1/3 new). Subsequently, this Pernand-Vergelesses wine benefits from an ageing on fine lees for about 15 months.

Grape variety

Chardonnay (100%).
