Louis Jadot Griotte Chambertin 750ML 2013

Griotte-Chambertin is an Appellation d'origine contr?l?e (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red wine in the C?te de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. Griotte-Chambertin is located within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is situated on the lower part of the hillside among the other "Chambertin", on the eastern (downhill) side of the Route des Grands Crus. It borders on Chapelle-Chambertin in the north, Charmes-Chambertin in the south, Chambertin itself in the west (across the road), and village-level Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards in the east.

The name of the vineyard derives from the grill pan shape that the rows of vines imitate. The AOC was created in 1937.

Louis Jadot 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 C?te 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.
