Louis Henry Denis Jadot founded Maison Louis Jadot in 1859. Even before then, the story of Jadot had its roots in the vineyards, with the first acquisition of Clos des Ursules in 1826. Since this time it has been praised as one of the most venerable, most trusted and most revered houses in Burgundy. With over 280 acres in the Cote d'Or's prestigious Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, they place equal importance on all of their appellations from village wines up. Vinification balances tradition and technology and focuses on the purest expression of each wine's terroir.
