Louis Jadot
About Maison Louis Jadot
A legendary name in Burgundy with which every collector will be intimately familiar, Maison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 by the eponymous Louis Henry Denis Jadot, although the family had roots as grape growers in the region dating back far further than this.
Purchased by the Kopf family after the death of the last male members of the Jadot family, the Maison currently owns over 60 hectares of vines itself whilst purchasing fruit from select growers to supplement their holdings. In Jacques Lardière, this mighty winery has one of the most experienced and highly respected winemakers in the entire region, having held the position through the transition of ownership since 1970!
A true pioneer of low intervention viticulture and winemaking, Lardière believes the terroir of his sites is the single most beautiful tool at his disposal. It is the soil and sunlight of Burgundy which transposes the wines of Maison Louis Jadot, conveying a sense of time and place in the greatest of Burgundian fashions.

Vinous - Neal Martin (92-94)
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru has a very endearing bouquet, the best of Jadot's Chassagne cuvées, yellow plum and custard cremes, orange pith and a touch of blackcurrant leaf. The palate is certainly the most elegant and refined, crisp and detailed, with a harmonious, peachy finish dragging you back for another sip. Excellent.Inc. VAT£498.36 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (92-94)
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Caillerets 1er Cru shows a touch of reduction on the nose, but it possesses the most complex aromatics and mineralité of the six whites that I tasted from the appellation at Jadot. The most nuanced and tensile of the Chassagnes, this has a well-balanced palate with fine acidity and a satisfying long tail on the finish. Excellent.Expected Price Range£207 - £253 -
(6x150cl) 1996Vinous (88-90)
Blueberry, violet, mocha, smoke, herbs and earth on the nose. Pliant in the mouth, with the mocha and earth flavors repeating. Denser and more vibrant than the Clos Saint-Denis. But shows very good rather than outstanding length.Inc. VAT£2,690.64 -
Wine Advocate (91-93)
Jadot’s 2005 Clos de la Roche offers scents of red raspberry, cherry, resin and maple syrup. Bright and sappy, sweetly-fruited and spicy on the palate, it finishes with smoky, resinous and faintly-bitter medicinal notes mingling with persistently sweet, ripe fruit. While quite accessible today, this carries a considerable load of tannin beneath its folds of fruit, should have at least ten year potential, and may well enter a tough period after bottling.Inc. VAT£254.93 -
Vinous (88-91)
Medium red. Soil-driven aromas of smoke, mocha and earth. Suave and smoky, with a strong element of flinty minerality dominating the palate today. All about terroir, and yet I'd like to have seen more early treble tones.Inc. VAT£1,064.44 -
Wine Advocate (92-95)
The 2009 Clos de la Roche comes across as big, powerful and a touch heavy-handed. This shows tons of richness and depth but lacks the sheer excitement of the estate’s finest wines. The Clos de la Roche is made from purchased wine. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034.Inc. VAT£1,213.92 -
(6x75cl) 2011Wine Advocate (94)
The 2011 Clos de la Roche has a wonderful, vibrant, generous bouquet that is actually more akin to a Bonnes-Mares with its precocious, effervescent red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins on the opening, supple in the mouth, well-balanced with great precision on the finish. This is one of the best 2011s from Louis Jadot. Drink 2014-2026.Inc. VAT£1,032.72 -
(1x75cl) 2012Burghound (93)
A pungently earthy nose also offers supporting aromas of gentle wood, spice and both red and dark fruit components. There is excellent richness and body to the large-scaled, mineral-inflected and openly powerful flavors that possess plenty of tannin-buffering dry extract before terminating in a striking long finish. This is a robust and very serious effort that possesses excellent cellaring potential and note well that it will need it as this is presently a bruiser.Inc. VAT£277.32 -
Wine Advocate (94-96)
The 2013 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an inviting, warm and enveloping bouquet that seems to surround the senses and give them a big hug. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, animated citrus fruit underlying the black cherries and wild strawberry notes. There is really quite wonderful precision and focus on the finish. This is one of Jadot's best 2013s.Inc. VAT£1,006.32 -
Wine Advocate (92-94)
The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a voluminous and extravagant bouquet with blooms of red berry fruit, although I found myself more drawn to the complex and intellectual Clos Saint-Denis. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. This is a masculine, assertive Clos de la Roche, quite saline in the mouth with a feisty, spicy finish. This is a fine grand cru from Louis Jadot, though not one of their top releases this vintage.Inc. VAT£1,116.72 -
Wine Advocate (93-95)
The 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru was showing a little more reduction on the nose compared to the Clos Saint-Denis, although I felt that there is more detail and complexity in situ. The palate is very refined with filigree tannin, great tension and focus, a gentle grip in the mouth with an almost tart, tensile finish that lingers in the mouth. I also appreciate the spiciness on the aftertaste. Superb.Inc. VAT£994.32 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an outgoing, generous bouquet of sensual red cherries, crushed strawberry and veins of blueberry that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a dash of white pepper on the entry and slightly honeyed in texture toward the finish, betraying the warmth of the summer. It’s a close call but I just prefer the Clos Saint-Denis this year.Inc. VAT£1,211.52 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a beguiling bouquet of pure dark cherry and violet aromas, quite mineral-driven and wonderfully delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine grip, and touches of graphite and white pepper toward the sustained finish. This feels cohesive and long, and it should age with style for 20–30 years.Inc. VAT£935.15 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous (94-96)
The 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a more powerful and demonstrative bouquet compared to Jadot’s Clos Saint-Denis with layers of blackberry, boysenberry and raspberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of graphite on the entry, lightly spiced, perhaps sans the same precision as the Clos Saint-Denis on the finish, a hint of peppercorns on the aftertaste. Still, this is very fine and quite noble.Inc. VAT£1,555.49 -

Burghound (93-95)
This is all but mute today and still notably primary as only aggressive swirling can coax the reluctant aromas of pear, honey, white peach, oak and floral scents to reveal themselves. In the same fashion as the nose, the big, opulent and ultra-intense broad-shouldered flavors also remain extremely backward and tight yet the palate staining finish is hugely persistent and already offers unusually fine complexity for a young Montrachet. This too is extremely impressive but note well that it's built-to-age and is going to need at least 5 to 7 years first.Inc. VAT£1,988.42 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-97)
Mid yellow in colour. The nose hints at majesty while keeping its powder dry. This takes time to build on the palate, it is more in yellow fruit than most of the Jadot wines, with a little sucrosity, and still the lemon citrus inflection which makes these 2020 whites work so well, and the expected length.

(2x75cl) 2021Vinous (94-96)
There is just one barrel of the 2021 Montrachet Grand Cru this year. This oak comes through quite strongly at the moment, especially compared to the Chevalier alongside, though there is obviously real power and intensity here. The palate is very well-balanced and multi-layered with gorgeous yellow fruit, crushed stone and hints of lemongrass toward the finish. This seems to really fill the mouth with flavour, though it deserves four to five years in bottle. Maybe I just prefer the more nuanced Chevalier.Inc. VAT£2,078.09 -

(3x75cl) 2022Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)
The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru, which comes from the Chassagne side, also showed some of the barrel on the nose like the Chevalier, but overall, it seems more primal and less terroir-driven. The palate is medium-bodied with a resinous entry, surfeit with extract, though I am seeking a little more finesse and mineralité on the finish. A little broad-shouldered at the moment.Inc. VAT£3,011.16 -
(3x75cl) 2023Vinous - Neal Martin (94-96)
The 2023 Montrachet Grand Cru actually shows a little more oak influence on the nose when compared directly with the Chevalier Demoiselles (Frédéric Barnier mentioned that it is fermented in new oak but raised in 25% new). When I returned to my glass after ten minutes, some of that had been absorbed. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced entry. A little creamy in texture at the moment (more so than the Chevalier), this will require a few years to fully absorb the oak, but when it starts motoring, it will be a great "Monty."Inc. VAT£1,212.40 -
Vinous (92)
Pale yellow-gold. Yellow peach and spicy oak on the nose. Concentrated and nicely delineated, showing excellent thrust and framing lemony acidity to its pear, peach and mineral flavors. Conveys an impression of high-altitude freshness but this is plenty ripe for the year. Finishes rich and long. Incidentally, this bottling is now a négociant blend of three components, two of them estate. There was previously a separate domain bottling of La Garenne, but Jadot decided that that was too confusing.Inc. VAT£151.73 -
Tim Atkin MW (94)
A regal Puligny with high-toned aromatics, sweet spice undercurrents and dignified concentration, these 85-year-old vines always make a distinguished, concentrated Puligny. This is beautifully textured with a light waxiness that is wiped from the palate by exuberant acidity on the lingering finish. 2022-30Inc. VAT£635.89 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru has an attractive nose with touches of slate and a slight fumé scent that complements the malic aromas. This gains precision in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp bead of acidity. A stem ginger note hides in the background, whilst the finish feels reassuringly persistent. This should age well in bottle.Inc. VAT£615.12 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru is showing a little more oak than other cuvées, though it marries well with the fruit, touches of menthol percolating through with time, quite lively and precocious. The palate is well-balanced and quite intense on the entry, with orange rind and subtle peachy notes. It builds nicely in the glass and fans out with a sense of brio on the finish. This will be difficult to resist when young.Inc. VAT£269.54
