Beaune Premier Cru Anniversaire 2009

Created specially to commemorate this renowned winery’s 150th Anniversary, this limited production cuvée is a blend made from a selection of 17 Louis Jadot vineyards within the Beaune appellation: Les Clos des Ursules, Les Boucherottes, Les Pertuisots, Les Theurons, Les Avaux, Les Aigrots, Les Cents Vignes, Les Greves, Les Perrieres, Les Coucherais, Les Tuvilains, Les Chouacheux, Les Montrevenots, Les Champs Pimonts, Les Belissands, Les Reversees and Les Toussaints. On the grape selection, Winemaker Jacques Lardière explains, “2009 was a grand vintage of quality and the year of our 150th anniversary. To celebrate both occasions, we have assembled grapes from Beaune’s 17 Premiers Crus and present a cuvée that is a fond memory of wine, of Burgundy and of Jadot.” Made with traditional Burgundy winemaking methods, the wine was aged on the lees in French oak barrels, 33% new, for 18 months. This exceptional cuvée has the potential to age for 30 years or more.
