we went back to Beaune for a visit of Louis Jadot.
The visit of Louis Jadot was very special, because Thibaut Marquis, the US representative for Louis Jadot, based in New York City, was out host.
In the US, we had a number of tastings with him recently in the Washington DC area, including:
A Journey through Bourgogne with Louis Jadot - Tasting at the Washington Wine and Cheese Seminar with Annette Schiller and Thibaut Marquis.
In September 2023, Thibaut Marquis joined us for the monthly tasting of the
American Wine Society/ John Marshall Chapter.
At
the forthcoming 56th American Wine Society National Conference,
November 9-11, 2023 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Thibaut Marquis will
conduct a Louis Jadot taasting, jointly with Annette Schiller.
Maison Louis Jadot in Beaune, Côte de Beaune
The Maison Louis
Jadot has always been situated in the heart of the vineyards, in the
center of Beaune. Today Louis Jadot possesses 670 acres of vineyards in
Burgundy - of which half lie in the Côte d'Or: Domaine des Héritiers
Louis Jadot, Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Gagey and Domaine du Duc de
Magenta and vineyards in Beaujolais Cru areas.
It all started in 1826 with the purchase of the Clos des Ursules vineyard in Beaune. The Maison Louis Jadot was founded 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot who focused on the wine trade. He developed the wine trade with the markets in the northern European countries and spread the reputation of Burgundy wines. Subsequently the company was managed by three generations of the Jadot family and more vineyards were acquired.
A decisive moment in the history of the Maison Louis Jadot is the year 1945 when Louis August Jadot met Rudy Knopf, founder of the Kobrand wine import firm in the US. Then Louis Jadot wines were the first Burgundy wines available in the United States markets. Around the 1950s the Gagey family came on board as managing partners. In 1985 Madame Jadot sold the estate to Rudy Knopf.
Today Maison Louis Jadot is owned by Kobrand and managed by Thibault Gagey, third generation of the Gagey family. The Jadot winemaking facility is one of the largest and most advanced in Burgundy and was built to maximize the expression of "terroir" in the wines. They vinify all the grapes coming from their own vineyards as well as the purchased ones under contracts with other growers. True signature of Maison Louis Jadot and immediately recognizable is their label: the head of Bacchus.
Louis Jadot (wine-searcher)
Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most important wine producers and négociants, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a portfolio that covers everything from inexpensive Bourgogne and Beaujolais wines to several grand cru wines, from the Côte de Beaune to Chablis. Unsurprisingly, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay feature heavily in the portfolio.
The house was founded in Beaune in 1859 by Louis Jadot, although the first vineyard – Clos de Ursules – was purchased in the 1820s. The headquarters remains in Beaune, although vineyard holdings have increased exponentially.
Louis Jadot owns land in some of Burgundy's most famous vineyards, including Le Musigny, Échezeaux, Chapelle-Chambertin and in the famously fragmented Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Louis Jadot wines are also made in Chambertin, Montrachet, Corton and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
As well as the sizeable portfolio of wines made under the Louis Jadot label itself, the house also makes wines for Domaine du Duc de Magenta, and for Domaine Gagey. Andre Gagey took over as general manager for Louis Jadot in 1968 and, along with winemaker Jacques Lardière, was often held responsible for building Jadot's high reputation in the 70s and 80s.
The firm was acquired in 1985 by the owners of US wine importer Kobrand, which still owns the company and imports Jadot's wines into the US.
Gagey, whose son Pierre-Henry Gagey took over as president in 1991, died in 1999 and Lardière retired in 2012. Frédéric Barnier, who joined the company in 2010, has since taken over as head winemaker. Thibault Gagey has since joined his father Pierre-Henry at the helm of the firm.
Jadot is also strongly associated with its in-house cooperage and barrel brand, Cadus, which was established in 1996 in the village Ladoix-Serrigny (just outside Beaune) in cooperation with barrel firm Tonnellerie Vicard. In 2013, Vicard sold its stake in the operation to independent French stave mill Canadell.

Title: Dive Deep Into Burgundy With Louis Jadot
Presenters: Thibaut Marquis, North America Export Manager, Louis Jadot and Annette Schiller, Owner, ombiasy PR&WineTours
Abstract:
From the tip of Chablis to the toe of Beaujolais, from regional,
villages, 1er Cru and Grand Cru appellations, Louis Jadot produces wines
that celebrate Burgundy’s diversity, reflecting the natural
differences
of soil, aspect and climate. The familiar Bacchus-head label has become
the reliable stamp of quality and consistency from what can often be a
confusing region. We will take you on a journey that defines Louis
Jadot’s 165 years of know-how and expertise in the Burgundy region.
