The estate

The Louis Jadot House, 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, the Louis Jadot House perpetuates a know-how passed down from generation to generation by offering enthusiasts the best of Burgundy.

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