Louis Jadot : Meursault 1er cru "Perrières" Dom. Louis Jadot 2021

A vivid and delicate Meursault premier cru

The estate

The Maison Louis Jadot, established in 1859, is a real benchmark in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owning prestigious plots of vines, the House passes on its savoir-faire to generation after generation to offer wine lovers the best of Burgundy.

Head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey entrusted his position to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the role of General Manager to his son Thibault Gagey in September 2022.

The vineyard

The premier cru "Perrières" du Domaine Louis Jadot 2021 is a Meursault wine from a vineyard located in the south of the Côte de Beaune. Positioned on slight slopes, this terroir rests on soils made up of white marls at altitudes of between 230 and 360 metres.

The vintage

2021 was a year marked by severe frost in April and unstable weather conditions in Burgundy. Despite a smaller harvest than usual, the quality shone through, with floral and balanced white wines as well as bright, full-bodied and aromatic red wines.

Winemaking and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes were gently pressed before fermentation in oak casks (of which a third were new) from the Louis Jadot estate’s own cooperage. Ageing over about 15 months on fine lees.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).
