Maison Louis Jadot Mâcon Villages 2024 (France)

Description

Honey, Mineral, Peach

Pale yellow in colour. Delicate aromas of white flowers, green apple and ripe pear are complemented by subtle lemon zest, almond and a mineral edge. The palate offers flavours of white peach, honey and a touch of butter, balanced by fresh acidity and a fine mineral character. Clean and persistent, the finish reflects the classic elegance of the Mâconnais.

Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve as much as possible the fruit and freshness.

Maison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 by 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. Fast forward through multi-generational Jadot family involvement and serious land acquisitions until being brought by Kobrand in 1985, still, Maison Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most venerable négociants, and it is also one of the region's major growers.

Maison Jadot now owns 528 acres of vineyards, including 280 acres of Burgundy’s Cote d'Or's most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots. Further holdings sweep through Chablis to the Macon and into Beaujolais. Due to the understated presence yet high-quality wines of Louis Jadot they have a well-deserved reputation around the world with sommeliers, restaurateurs, and wine lovers alike.
