THE PRODUCER
Established in 1859 Maison Louis Jadot is one of the largest in Burgundy
controlling over 150ha, 70ha of which are in the Cote d’Or, but with holdings in
Beaujolais and Oregon, USA. Jadot is a large negociant-manipulant with labels
over various levels of quality and price, but the cream is under the Domaine des
Heritiers Louis Jadot label, which has established the reputation for some of
Burgundy’s finest wines, both red and white. Louis Jadot is on song.

The modern, state-of-the-art winery near Savigny-les-Beaune may not represent
the romance of Burgundy but the wines themselves embody that … beautiful, finely
proportioned wines that speak a little of their maker but a lot of their
provenance.

Louis Jadot has impressive representation throughout Burgundy rather than
specialising in one or a few particular appellations. Their quality and
consistency is amazing considering that in Chambolle-Musigny alone they bottle
both of the Grand Crus, six Premier Crus including an exemplary Les Amoureuses.

In Meursault, Jadot makes several exemplary village lieu-dit wines, as well as
several premiers crus, of which we currently list the Charmes.

THE WINE
Jadot owns 1.19 hectares in the precious Charmes premier cru vineyard. The land
Is east-facing and soil deep brown calcareous clay. Around 15 months of ageing
in oak barrel gives breadth and silkiness to the texture. A powerful and deep
wine with layers of yellow orchard fruit, honey and spice complexity – a
reliably fine example of Charmes.

CRITICS SCORES
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.
