Invitation
Please join us for an exquisite event at L’Auberge Chez François as we are delighted to host an evening of guiding tastings and wine dinner experience highlighting the finest highly sought-after Burgundy wines of Maison Louis Jadot. We welcome very special guest, Thibaut Marquis, Export Director for Maison Louis Jadot, to guide us through the rich history of the winery and featured wines.
Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most trusted and revered wine houses in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. Frédéric Barnier, Jadot’s esteemed winemaker, and his team balance tradition and technology, focusing on the purest expression of each wine’s terroir. These principles of vinification take the lightest possible hand in winemaking, and produce the essence of fine Burgundy. Founded in 1859, the house now owns 528 acres of vineyards, including 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
The Jadot tasting will be followed by Chef Jacques and Team’s delectable dinner experience expertly paired with two additional outstanding wines from the Louis Jadot portfolio.
A fantastic evening not to be missed! Merci beaucoup and see you there!
Louis Jadot
Domaine Ferret is owned by Maison Louis Jadot. Maison Louis Jadot was
founded by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in 1859 and is a family wine company
that produces and markets Burgundy wine. It operates both its own
vineyards and also buys grapes from many growers. It controls 270
hectares of vineyards in Burgundy (including Beaujolais Crus) and
produces only AOC wines.
In 1985 Maison Louis Jadot - excluding the vineyards, which remained the
property of the Jadot and Gagey families - was sold to the family of
Rudy Kopf, who also own Kobrand, Jadot’s US importer.
In 1997, Maison Louis Jadot ventured outside of the Beaune region for
the first time, purchasing the substantial holdings of Chateau des
Jacques in the Beaujolais, one of the most important estates of the
Moulin-à-Vent appelation.
Today, Maison Louis Jadot controls 225 hectares of vineyards in
Burgundy, of which 119 hectares lie in the Côte d'Or: Domaine des
Héritiers Louis Jadot, Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Gagey and Domaine du
Duc de Magenta.
The Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot has long belonged to the Jadot
family. Domaine Louis Jadot grew in 1985 with the purchase of Domaine
Clair Daü. Domaine Gagey has belonged to André Gagey's family for
generations. The Domaine du Duc de Magenta belongs to an established
Burgundian family that has given Maison Louis Jadot the right to vinify
and sell the wines from its vineyards of Chassagne Montrachet Premier
Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle and Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Clos
de la Garenne. Maison Louis Jadot is settled in Beaujolais since 1996:
the Château des Jacques property includes 80 hectares of Moulin à Vent,
Morgon, Fleurie and Chénas. In 2008, Maison Louis Jadot bought Domaine
Ferret, which is located in the heart of the Pouilly Fuissé appellation.
Kobrand and the Kopf Family
Kobrand is owned by the 3 daughters of the firm's founder, Rudolph C.
Kopf. Kopf was born in the Queens in New York City and graduated from
the University of Columbia's Business School in 1927. All his youth, he
lived under prohibition. Prohibition was repealed by President Franklin
Roosevelt, when he took office in 1933. It was in that year that Kopf
started a wine and spirits department at New York's famed Macy's
department store. Under his guidance, it became known as one of the best
shops in the country and Kopf established himself as an industry force.
In 1944, at the age of 38, he struck out on his own and formed his own
wine and spirits marketing company, which he called the Kobrand
Corporation. Although light on money, Kopf was well connected, having
established relationships in the wine and spirits business around the world.
Kopf's big break came in 1945 when he lined up his first major wine
brand to represent, Maison Louis Jadot, which was established in France
in 1859. With the Jadot business in hand, Kopf's next notable
achievement was landing a spirits brand: Beefeater Gin. A third key
brand acquisition in another important category, champagne, took place
shortly after the Beefeater deal, when Kopf secured the marketing rights
to Taittinger Champagne.
In 1985, Kobrand bought Maison Louis Jadot. Only a few months after the
Jadot deal was completed, Kopf died at age 80 and his three daughters
shared in the ownership of Kobrand. Also in 1985 Kobrand acquired its
first stake in a California company, Napa Valley's Sequoia Grove
Vineyards. A year later, Kobrand turned its attention to Northern
California, forming a joint venture with Taittinger called Domaine
Carneros. Kobrand added further to its California interests in 1987 when
it reached a marketing agreement with Cakebread Cellars.
The year 1987 also marked the end of the relationship with Beefeater
Gin. In the late 1980s and early 1990s Kobrand added a host of brands,
making the firm a major marketer of Italian wines. These labels included
Sassicala, Ornellaia, Terriccio, Spalletti, and Chiehe Chiarlo.
Kobrand continues to be a family company, owned by the founders three daughters.
