Louis Jadot : Musigny Grand cru Dom. Louis Jadot 2021

A fine and supple Musigny Grand Cru wine by Louis Jadot

The estate

The Maison Louis Jadot, established in 1859, is a real benchmark in Burgundy. Its adventure began with the acquisition of the Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" in 1826. Owning prestigious plots of vines, the House passes on its savoir-faire to generation after generation to offer wine lovers the best of Burgundy.

Head of Maison Louis Jadot since 1992, Pierre-Henry Gagey entrusted his position to Thomas Seiter (Bouchard Père et Fils) and the role of General Manager to his son Thibault Gagey in September 2022.

The vineyard

This Musigny wine stems from a vineyard in the east of the appellation, at an altitude of about 320m and resting on a chalky soil.

The vintage

2021 was a year marked by severe frost in April and unstable weather conditions in Burgundy. Despite a smaller harvest than usual, the quality shone through, with floral and balanced white wines as well as bright, full-bodied and aromatic red wines.
