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, 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 Pernand-Vergelesses Village "Les Combottes" Domaine Gagey from Louis Jadot is a Burgundy wine made from vines located on brown limestone 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 heat wave followed by beneficial rains. The harvest begins in early September under 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 aging, with wines with clear and pure aromas.

Vinification and aging

After manual harvesting, the berries undergo gentle pressing, then are fermented in barrels (1/3 new). Subsequently, this Pernand-Vergelesses wine benefits from aging on fine lees for about 15 months.
