Louis Jadot : Clos Vougeot Grand cru Dom. Louis Jadot 2022

A Clos Vougeot wine harmoniously combining complexity and refinement

The estate

The Maison Louis Jadot, established since 1859, is a true reference in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owner of prestigious vineyard plots, Maison Louis Jadot perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation, offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

At the head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey handed over his position in September 2022 to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the General Management to his son Thibault Gagey.

The vintage

The rather mild winter of 2022 paved the way for an early summer marked by intense heat. Repeated heatwaves raised concerns about the effects of high temperatures on the vine, but salvific rains preserved their balance. In September, despite climatic challenges, the harvest revealed a rich vintage, testifying to the exceptional robustness and resilience of the vine.
