Louis Jadot Chablis

LOUIS JADOT WINERY

Founded in 1859, Maison Louis Jadot boasts a remarkable history deeply intertwined with the captivating world of Burgundy wine.

The Early Years (1826 - 1859)

It all began with a single plot of land, as is often the case in Burgundy, where the terroir is celebrated as the heart and soul of winemaking. In 1826, the history of Louis Jadot was set into motion with the acquisition of Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules, marking the inception of a legacy that would shape the world of wine.

The Foundation (1859)

In 1859, Maison Louis Jadot was officially established, laying the foundation for generations of winemaking excellence. This marked the moment when the dream of crafting exceptional Burgundy wines began to take shape.

Expansion and International Reach (Late 1800s)

Thirty years later, in the late 1800s, Louis Henri Denis Jadot, the visionary behind the Maison, was ready to take the wines of Burgundy to the world. The wine trade was expanded into Northern Europe, setting the stage for the global recognition that Maison Louis Jadot enjoys today.

Chablis and Unique Terroir

Chablis, a region renowned for its distinctive terroir, holds a special place in the Maison Louis Jadot story. The Chablis vineyards are characterized by a continental climate, experiencing extreme temperatures from very cold winters to hot summers, with the added challenge of spring frosts. These challenging conditions, combined with the unique marl soils, contribute to the unmistakable character of Chablis wines.

Dedication to Chardonnay

Approximately 3,500 hectares of vineyards, including 856 hectares of Premiers and Grands Crus, are exclusively planted with Chardonnay grapes. This dedication to Chardonnay underscores Louis Jadot's commitment to showcasing the purity and potential of this noble grape variety.

Winemaking Excellence

Chablis Premiers Crus, representing the pinnacle of Chablis winemaking, are meticulously produced in 40 distinct locations. The winemaking process at Louis Jadot is characterized by a commitment to tradition and innovation, with vinification and aging taking place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's integrity and freshness.
