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
In the south of the Côte de Beaune, Santenay extends its vineyards over 378 ha, 124 of which produce Premiers Crus (11 climats). The soil is clay-limestone, with a more pronounced limestone resurgence in the upper part of the village, including the “Clos de Malte”. Well irrigated. Situated at the foot of Mont de Cène (Montagne des Trois Croix), in a small valley, it is perfectly exposed and protected from the winds. This 7-hectare vineyard has been entirely owned by Maison Jadot since 1993 (5.5 ha of Pinot Noir and 1.5 ha of Chardonnay).
Production notes
The grapes are hand-picked in small crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The grapes are then carefully sorted by hand and destemmed. The grapes are macerated in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The vats are pumped over twice a day during fermentation. Aging lasts around 18 months in barrels from our cooperage, about a third of which are new.
