Frequently Asked Questions

What is a négociant-éleveur and how does Louis Jadot fit that model?

A négociant-éleveur is a Burgundy merchant who both purchases wine and raises it to maturity before bottling under their own label — distinct from a pure négociant who simply buys finished wine. Louis Jadot occupies a prominent position in this model: they own significant vineyard holdings (528+ acres including Grand and Premier Cru plots), but also source from grower partners across the region. The in-house winemaking team raises all wine through fermentation, elevage, and bottling in their Beaune facilities, producing a consistent house style across the full appellation range.

What is the Louis Jadot Beaune Clos des Ursules and why is it significant?

The Beaune Clos des Ursules is a Premier Cru monopole — meaning Louis Jadot is the sole owner of the entire vineyard — located in the Premier Cru Les Vignes Franches climat in Beaune. Monopole status is rare in Burgundy, where most appellations divide small plots among many owners. The Clos des Ursules is Jadot’s flagship red and one of the most recognized monopole Premier Crus in the Côte de Beaune.
