Louis Jadot Santenay Clos De Malte Blanc 2020 750ML

The Clos de Malte is situated on 7 hectares at the head of a small valley, generally well exposed and protected from the wind. The Clos occupies almost all of the 7.8 hectare climat of Sous La Fée, and sits at the foot of a track that runs upwards to the Montagne des Trois Croix. As a ‘Clos’ there is indeed a stone wall around much of this vineyard’s boundary, and also one in the middle too, forming not just a small tier between two elevations, but also marking where a rail-line once existed. The name Clos de Malte has been used since the 1800s, referring to the Chevaliers de Malte*, who had built the church in Saint-Jean. The vineyard was planted by the great-grandfather of Pierre-Henry Gagey, who eventually sold all to the Joly family in 1940. In 1993, Jadot re-purchased the vineyard with the exception of a small area near the house of the Jolys – a ‘cordon sanitaire’ for the Jolys perhaps, yet Jadot still have the contract for those ‘garden’ vines.

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.
