Founded in Burgundy in 1859, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the region's largest wineries, widely recognized for the quality of its wines and the breadth of its range, which also includes excellent value products. Louis Jadot's elegant Meursault is made with Chardonnay grapes from the prestigious Meursault appellation, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Here, the vineyards, spread across gentle slopes between 230 and 360 meters above sea level, benefit from soils composed of chalk and white marl, capable of producing white wines of great character and longevity. After manual harvesting and fermentation in oak barrels, the finished wine rests in barriques until bottling. In the glass, the wine reveals a brilliant color with light golden hues and a fragrant and ripe aromatic profile with fruity notes of apple and pear, hints of brioche and hazelnut, and some spicy undertones. On the palate, it is round and generous, soft and elegant, with a well-balanced acidity and a long, delicately spicy finish. It is a classy wine that pairs well with fish and poultry. It is also excellent with Comte cheese.
