About Maison Louis Jadot

Louis Jadot founded the house in Beaune in 1859, and it has grown into one of the largest owners of fine vineyard in Burgundy while still buying fruit as a négociant. The domaine side includes the monopole Clos des Ursules in Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles, Corton-Charlemagne, Musigny, Bonnes-Mares and a substantial parcel of Chambertin Clos de Bèze that came from the division of Domaine Clair-Daü in 1985. Jacques Lardière made the wine for more than forty years and handed over to Frédéric Barnier in 2012. The house also owns Château des Jacques in Moulin-à-Vent and Domaine Ferret in Pouilly-Fuissé.

Jadot is the rare Burgundy name available at every level, from regional bottlings to grand cru. Our Burgundy Wines and Grand Cru Wines pages cover the neighboring estates, and Pinot Noir follows the grape further afield.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Louis Jadot a négociant or a domaine?

Both. It buys grapes and wine like any négociant house, and it also farms more than two hundred hectares of its own vineyards, which is more grand cru and premier cru land than most estates will ever hold.

What is Clos des Ursules?

A walled parcel inside the Beaune premier cru Vignes Franches, owned entirely by Jadot since 1826. It is the house's oldest holding and appears on the label with the Ursuline convent that once owned it.

Who makes the wine at Louis Jadot?

Frédéric Barnier, who took over in 2012 from Jacques Lardière. Lardière ran the cellar from 1970 and his approach, including high fermentation temperatures and no chaptalisation late in the process, shaped how the wines taste.

How long do Louis Jadot wines age?

The grand crus commonly want fifteen years and hold for thirty. Premier crus come around from eight to ten. Village wines are ready sooner but the house style tends to be firm early, so even those benefit from a few years.
