"Louis Jadot Santenay Clos de Malte Red 2022

About the producer:
Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, is a benchmark of Burgundy winemaking. The house owns the Clos de Malte vineyard outright, giving it monopole status, and applies careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking to express the unique character of this site.

About the region:
Santenay is the southernmost village of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. It is well-regarded for producing structured yet approachable red wines that often combine elegance with a touch of rustic charm. Its limestone and marl soils, combined with a slightly warmer climate, give the wines depth and personality.

About the grape variety:
Pinot Noir, the emblematic red grape of Burgundy, flourishes in Santenay’s terroir. It delivers wines with bright red fruit, floral notes, and earthy undertones, gaining complexity and finesse with age.

Style and tasting note:
Louis Jadot Santenay Clos de Malte Red 2022 shows a ruby hue with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and violet, layered with subtle spice and earth. The palate is medium-bodied, supple, and well-structured, with fine tannins and lively acidity leading to an elegant, persistent finish.

Trivia:
Clos de Malte takes its name from the Knights of Malta, who cultivated this land centuries ago. Today, as a monopole vineyard entirely owned by Louis Jadot, it remains one of the few sites in Burgundy to carry such historical and viticultural significance."
