About this Item

2001 Clos Vougeot
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

The House of Louis Jadot has been producing Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. For the past 150 years Louis Jadot has continued as one of the great names of Burgundy and has gained international reputation for its superb red and white Burgundy wines. Louis Jadot is not only one of the largest producers of estate Burgundies of the Cote d'Or it is one of the most celebrated exporters of premium Burgundies owning close to 140 acres of vineyards from 24 of the most prestigious sites in Burgundy. Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most important wine producers and négociants, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a portfolio that covers everything from inexpensive Bourgogne and Beaujolais wines to several grand cru wines, from the Côte de Beaune to Chablis. Unsurprisingly, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay feature heavily in the portfolio. Louis Jadot owns land in some of Burgundy's most famous vineyards, including Le Musigny, Échezeaux, Chapelle-Chambertin and in the famously fragmented Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Louis Jadot wines are also made in Chambertin, Montrachet, Corton and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.

Critics Ratings

'Full medium ruby. Black cherry, dark chocolate, licorice and minerals on the nose. Penetrating and juicy, with atypical freshness for a young Clos Vougeot. Rather powerful wine with excellent chewy extract. Finishes with notes of chocolate and leather. This wine's substantial tannins will require several years of bottle aging.'- Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2003)
