"Created in 1859 by Mr. Louis Jadot, the Maison Louis Jadot has always been located in the very center of Beaune, in the heart of the vineyard. Housed in a 19th century mansion, it has superb cellars connected to the Couvent des Jacobins located a stone's throw away.
  
Run by three generations of Jadot, then for 30 years by Mr. André Gagey, the Maison is now in the hands of his son Pierre-Henry assisted by Mr. Jacques Lardière, the Maison's oenologist for more than 40 years, before passing the torch to Mr. Frédéric Barnier.
  
The Côte Chalonnaise is located south of the Côte de Beaune south of Santenay. Mercurey is one of the 5 most famous villages on this coast.
  
Vinification and aging: The harvest is manual in small crates in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The grapes are then carefully sorted by hand and then destemmed. The maceration of the grapes takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for 3 weeks to 4 weeks. The vats are punched down twice a day during fermentation. The aging lasts about 18 months in the barrels of our cooperage, about a third of which are new."
