Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares 2018 750ML

One of Burgundy's 33 Grand Crus, the "Bonnes-Mares" climat is divided between the communes of Morey-Saint-Denis and particularly Chambolle-Musigny. This flagship wine of the Côte de Nuits, where the siliceous clay soil and limestone slabs overlying white marls lend the Pinot Noir grapes that grow on this exceptional terroir their unique characteristics: power and body without sacrificing finesse and elegance, as well as exceptional cellaring potential. The 0.27ha Jadot parcel of Bonnes-Mares (owned by the house itself) is in a strip that goes from the top of the vineyard to the bottom, and thus includes both terres blanches (white marl) and terres rouges (red clay).  The calcium content of the soil which gives the wines of Chambolle Musigny their great delicacy, is less pronounced compared to le Musigny. Bonnes Mares is more robust, yet still extremely elegant. Destemmed grapes ferment in vats during 3 to 4 weeks. Aging takes place in oak barrels produced by our cooperage Cadus during 18 months. AGING POTENTIAL 20 years and more.

Producer Description:

Founded in 1859, by Louis Henry Denis Jadot, he was the first of his family to arrive in Beaune from Belgium in 1794 and soon began purchasing Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. With grape growing a part of his heritage, Louis Henry set about gaining experience first in the cellars, in the evaluation of wines, and then in the vineyards, in the study of viticulture. The house of Louis Jadot has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and currently owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots. In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses.
