| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Nuits-Saint-Georges A.c. wines are produced on land delimited by the parishes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey. The soils are basically composed of limestone and marl. A perfect exposure to the east gives the capacity to produce splendid wines.\r\nA powerful, tannic and full-bodied wine of intense color, Nuits-Saint-Georges offers robust fruit flavors and nuances of oak in the bouquet.\r\nFood Pairing - game, beef and pork, and medium-aged cheeses.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Maison Louis Jadot\r\nMaison Louis Jadot is one of the most trusted and revered wine houses in Burgundy\u2019s C\u00f4te d\u2019Or. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Barnier, Jadot\u2019s esteemed winemaker, and his team balance tradition and technology, focusing on the purest expression of each wine\u2019s terroir. These principles of vinification take the lightest possible hand in winemaking, and produce the essence of fine Burgundy. Founded in 1859, the house now owns 528 acres of vineyards, including 280 acres of the Cote d\u2019Or\u2019s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.\r\n\r\n\r\nMaison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 by the man whose name it bears, Louis Henry Denis Jadot. The first of his family arrived in Beaune from Belgium in 1794 and soon began purchasing Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. With grape growing a part of his heritage, Louis Henry set about gaining experience first in the cellars, in the evaluation of wines, and then in the vineyards, in the study of viticulture.\r\n\r\nAs Louis Henry traveled he acquired a faithful clientele, and in 1859 purchased the respected n\u00e9gociant firm of Lemaire-Fouleux and gave the firm his name. After his death, his son, Louis Baptiste Jadot, enthusiastically carried on the work his father had begun. He expanded his export markets as well as his clientele in France, reinvesting his profits in the acquisition of vineyards in some of the finest and most famous Grands Crus and Premiers Crus of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 1939, Louis Baptiste Jadot died and left control of the firm to his eldest son, Louis Auguste Jadot, who had assisted in the direction of the business under his father since 1931. He opened and greatly developed the new export market of the United States, as well as those of Great Britain, Holland, South America and New Zealand.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 1954, Andr\u00e9 Gagey joined Maison Louis Jadot as assistant to Louis Auguste Jadot. When Louis Auguste Jadot died in 1962, survived only by his wife, Andr\u00e9 Gagey was appointed managing director of the firm. He had full responsibility for its operations, under Mme. Jadot\u2019s ownership and direction. As managing director, Gagey was for nearly three decades responsible for the final decisions over selection and purchase of all grapes and wines bottled under the Jadot label, as well as the care and maintenance of the vineyards within the Jadot estate. |
