About this winery

It was with the acquisition of Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules that the history of Maison Louis Jadot began in 1826.

Product notes

This climate is made up of several plots and separates the Premiers Crus of the north from those of the south. Facing south-east, it rests on marly terrain where the soil is compact, hard and difficult to work.

Production notes

Destemmed and vinified in open vats for 4 weeks. Aged in oak barrels in our cellars for 18 months.

Tasting notes

Sustained cherry color with a nose that is both elegant and dense with a mixture of red fruits and lime blossom and cherry blossom with a slight smokiness. The mouth is elegant with thick and slightly marked tannins. Nice persistence and minerality on the finish. Pairings with white meats

Alen Meadows, April 2022 (Vintage 2020)

A perfumed and pretty mix features notes of both red and dark cherry liqueur along with floral and exotic tea nuances. This too possesses a highly attractive mouthfeel with slightly better mid-palate density to the relatively powerful flavors that are a mix of refinement and punch on the dusty, moderately austere and firmly structured finale. This is a classic Theurons of grace, but no lack of character, that will need extended patience to arrive at its apogee. *Burghound Outstanding!

December 2021 (Vintage 2020)

The 2020 Beaune Les Theurons 1er Cru has a much more introverted bouquet compared to the Grèves, with an attractive marine element, hints of kelp and shucked oyster shell percolating through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine line of acidity, lightly spiced with a detailed and quite peppery finish. Excellent.
