Winery Background and History

Founded in 1859, Maison Louis Jadot is a renowned Burgundy wine producer committed to expressing the rich diversity of Burgundy’s terroirs. While primarily associated with the Côte d’Or, Louis Jadot also produces wines from the Chablis region, emphasizing quality and authenticity across their portfolio.

Producer and Winemaker

Louis Jadot’s winemaking team, led by Frédéric Barnier, upholds the house’s philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing each wine to showcase its unique origin. Barnier’s expertise ensures that the wines balance tradition with innovation, maintaining the high standards set by the winery’s founder.

Vineyards and Microclimate

The Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru vineyard is situated just south of the Grand Cru slope in Chablis, on a fairly steep, south-facing incline. The soils are stony with typical Kimmeridgian clay, contributing to the wine’s firm texture and vibrant citrus character. The region’s cool climate and unique soil composition impart the distinctive minerality and crisp acidity characteristic of Chablis wines.

Grape Varietals & Percentage Used

100% Chardonnay

Vinification & Aging Methods

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional vinification methods. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s freshness and purity. The wine is then aged on its lees to enhance complexity and texture, resulting in a balanced expression of fruit and minerality.

ABV (Alcohol by Volume)

Approximately 13%

Tasting Notes

Food & Wine Pairing

This wine pairs exceptionally well with seafood dishes, including sushi, mussels, paella, and baked fish. Its crisp acidity and minerality also complement poultry in creamy sauces and a variety of cheeses, making it a versatile choice for diverse culinary pairings. 

Service Methods and Temperatures

To fully appreciate its freshness and aromatic profile, serve this wine chilled at a temperature between 10 to 12 degrees Celsius (50 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit). Decanting is not necessary; simply uncork and serve to enjoy its vibrant character.
