The refinement and structure of a Chablis 1er cru wine

The property

The Louis Jadot House, established since 1859, is a true reference in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owner of prestigious vineyard plots, the Louis Jadot House perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation by offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

At the head of the Louis Jadot House since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey handed over his position in September 2022 to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the General Management to his son Thibault Gagey.

The vineyard

This "Montée de Tonnerre" 2023 is a Chablis 1er cru wine from a vineyard resting on marl soils.

The vintage

The mild and dry winter delays the vine cycle. After a late bud break, the vine grows vigorously in May. Flowering is early with beautiful bunches. Some storms in July alleviate the lack of water, and veraison begins. August sees a heatwave followed by beneficial rains. Harvesting begins in early September in high heat. The white wines show a beautiful acidity, the red wines are dense with ripe tannins. The vintage presents a good balance and promises a long ageing, with wines with clear and pure aromas.

Vinification and ageing

Once the harvest is carried out manually, the grapes are transported to the winery where they are gently pressed. Fermentation will then take place in barrels made in the Louis Jadot cooperage. Ageing lasts 13 to 15 months on fine lees.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%)
