Louis Jadot - Beaujolais Village 2008

A propos du producteur

La maison de négoce de Beaune est largement présente dans le Beaujolais. En 1996, elle reprenait le Château des Jacques et plus récemment le Château des Lumières à Morgon.

Depuis sa création en 1859, la Maison Louis Jadot s'est fixé pour mission de se développer harmonieusement sur l'ensemble des appellations bourguignonnes, des grands crus aux appellations régionales. Pour produire les vins les plus représentatifs de leur terroir, Jacques Lardière est entouré de Juliette, Christine, Guillaume. Cette équipe joue un rôle déterminant dans le succès de cette maison. Chacun met son talent au service de ces vins et assure la pérennité de ce savoir faire, qu'il soit technique ou commercial.

About the winery

Louis Henry Denis Jadot founded Maison Louis Jadot in 1859. But even before then, the story of Maison Jadot had its roots in the vineyards, with the Jadot family's purchase of the Clos des Ursules, a Beaune Premier Cru, in 1826.

The négociant house, under the guidance of Louis Henry Denis Jadot, expanded rapidly, with a focus on the markets of northern Europe, an area he knew well as his family came from Belgium. His son, Louis Jean Baptiste, took over the management of the company in 1900, and expanded operations by buying numerous vineyards, including Corton Charlemagne and Chevalier Montrachet Les Demoiselles.

The next generation, under the guidance of Louis Auguste Jadot, developed new export markets, particularly those in England and the US, with the help of Rudy Kopf, the founder of the Kobrand Corporation. In 1954, André Gagey joined the company as Louis Auguste Jadot's deputy. On the latter's premature death in 1962, André Gagey succeeded him as Maison Jadot's director. In 1970, Gagey took on a young winemaker, Jacques Lardière, as his assistant. And, in 1984, André Gagey's son, Pierre-Henry, joined the company. In 1985, in order to ensure the company's future, Madame Jadot decided to sell the company to the family of Rudy Kopf, Jadot's US importer.

Pierre-Henry Gagey became president of Maison Louis Jadot in 1992.All the wines made under the Maison Louis Jadot label are Appellation Contrôlée wines from across the region. The vineyards of Maison Louis Jadot are now scattered across 154 hectares of Burgundy, from the Côte d'Or to the Mâconnais and down into Beaujolais.

Thanks to the quality of our wines we have forged strong links, both in France and around the world, with sommeliers, restaurateurs, wine merchants, importers, agents and wine lovers.

Avis de professionnels

Vinexus - Infinity of Wine Duitsland Strong red/purple colour. Fresh red fruits on the nose with a hint of dark cherry. Slightly spicy with a touch of grey pepper, liquorice and a touch of rose flower. The whole wine is very well balanced with a nice acidity and the tannins present on the finish invites food pairing with terrines, charcuteries, grilled red meat, white fish, cheese or simply as the sole wine of a meal. The terroir is mainly composed of granite. Amongst the 55,000 acres (22,000 hectares) of vineyards planted in the Beaujolais region, about 15,000 acres (6,000 hectares) are under the name Beaujolais Villages « Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée » which ranks between the Beaujolais Appellation and the Crus appellation (there are 10 crus).
