About the producer:
Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, has built a reputation as one of Burgundy’s most trusted names. By combining traditional winemaking with a deep respect for terroir, Jadot produces wines across the region, from humble appellations to prestigious premiers and grands crus.

About the region:
Savigny-lès-Beaune lies just north of Beaune in the Côte de Beaune. Its premier cru vineyards, like Clos des Guettes, are known for producing red wines that balance structure with elegance, often more approachable in youth than some neighboring villages but still capable of aging well.

About the grape variety:
Pinot Noir, the emblematic red grape of Burgundy, flourishes in Savigny-lès-Beaune’s limestone and clay soils. It produces wines with bright fruit, supple tannins, and earthy complexity, reflecting the character of the village’s terroir.

Style and tasting note:
Louis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes Premier Cru 2022 offers aromas of cherry, redcurrant, and raspberry, intertwined with notes of violet, spice, and a touch of earth. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, and well-balanced, with fine tannins and fresh acidity leading to a long, refined finish.

Trivia:
Clos des Guettes takes its name from the French word “guet,” meaning “watch” or “lookout.” The vineyard is thought to have once served as a vantage point, guarding the entrance to the valley leading toward Beaune."
