Louis Jadot Chassagne-Montrachet 2011
Suggested Food Pairings:
Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most trusted and revered wine houses in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. Frédéric Barnier, Jadot’s esteemed winemaker, and his team balance tradition and technology, focusing on the purest expression of each wine’s terroir. These principles of vinification take the lightest possible hand in winemaking, and produce the essence of fine Burgundy. Founded in 1859, the house now owns 528 acres of vineyards, including 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
From the start, Maison Louis Jadot has always accorded equal importance to each of Burgundy’s appellations, from Grand Crus right through to regional wines. Their aim is to express the true nature of Burgundy through its wines. It's often overlooked that Chassagne-Montrachet was predominantly planted with Pinot Noir before Chardonnay took over. This wine, a reminder of that fact, is fresh with crisp red-cherry flavors as well as an edge of tannins that gives structure for aging.
