THE PRODUCER
Louis Jadot is one of the largest and most famous wine producers and negociants
in the Burgundy wine-growing region. The origins of the company date back to
1859 when the business was fouded by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. Over time the
company has acquired plots of vines is some of the most prestigious vineyards in
the region including Beaune Clos de Ursules, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and many
more. Louis Jadot owns or directly controls 120 ha in the Côte d’Or, including
over 90 individual vineyard sites, 84ha in the Beaujolais Crus and 18ha in the
Mâconnais primarily in Pouilly Fuissé (they own the fantastic Domaine Ferret).
Today the business is headed by Pierre-Henry Gagey, son of André Gagey, who was
entrusted with the management of Louis Jadot in 1962 by Madame Jadot following
the death of her son.

THE WINE
The 2012 Louis Jadot Beaune Premier Cru "153rd Anniversary Cuvée" is a special
edition wine celebrating the 153rd anniversary of Maison Louis Jadot. This wine
is made from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from several Premier Cru vineyards in
Beaune, creating a blend that showcases the best characteristics of the region.
The wine is noted for its complex aromas of dark cherry, earth, and spices, with
a dense and powerful mid-palate and a firm tannic structure. It offers
exceptional aging potential and is best enjoyed with some decanting​

We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
