The founding of Maison Louis Jadot dates back to 1859 when Louis Henry Denis Jadot set up as a merchant.
Vineyard purchases started with Beaune Clos des Ursules and continued with Corton Charlemagne, Corton Pougets, Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières and numerous plots of Beaune 1er Cru as well as prestigious grands crus such as Clos Vougeot, Musigny, Bonnes Mares …and Château des Jacques in Beaujolais.
The Louis Jadot intent is to produce wines that are reflections of their terroir.
