About this Item
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.
The 2005 Louis Jadot Lavaux Saint-Jacques is a highly regarded Burgundy wine from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation in the Côte de Nuits, a sub-region of the Côte d'Or in Burgundy, France.

Critics Ratings
‘Deep crimson. Mealy nose rather deminscent of vegetal decay – hints of compost? Round but still quite restrained. It may well open out but the Cazetiers for less money seems a better bet to me.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Aug 2007)
‘Deep ruby-red. Wild aromas of black fruits, bitter chocolate and smoked meat. Sweeter on entry than the Estournelles, then powerful and rather closed, and showing a bit less inner-palate detail today. This dense, meaty, chocolatey wine is clearly from deeper soil.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2007)
