2013 Clos-St Denis, Grand Cru, Domaine Gagey, Louis Jadot

Maison Louis Jadot owns over 60 hectares of vineyard, many of them premier and grand cru, and in Frédéric Barnier has one of the most respected winemakers working in Burgundy today, taking over from the legendary Jacques Lardière in 2010. The wines are made in impressive purpose-built cellars on the road to Savigny-les-Beaune. The house of Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 though the family had previously been vignerons in the region, acquiring their famous Clos des Ursules in 1826. On the vineyard front, there have been purchases in the Mâconnais (Domaine Ferret) and the Beaujolais, notably the Château des Jacques in Moulin-à-Vent and the Château de Bellevue in Morgon. Both the reds and whites are of impeccable quality and reflect the individual terroirs of their respective villages and sites, allied with supreme winemaking skills.
