The production area of Burgundy Blanc is the whole of Burgundy. Louis Jadot’s Couvent des Jacobins blend brings the freshness of Mâconnais and the structure of Côte d’Or as well as the Chalonnais. Some of the wine is produced and fully matured in steel tanks in order to maintain good fruitiness, while others are produced and matured from scratch in the traditional way in oak casks, to give the wine structure and strength. Maturation takes about eight months.

Producer story

Louis Jadot was established back in 1859 and still bears the name of its founder. Louis Jadot produces Burgundy wine and exclusively Burgundy wine along the long north-south strip of Burgundy, from the northern Chablis to the southern Beaujolais region. The house operates as a Propriétaire-Négociant, owning an extensive number of vineyards while also purchasing grapes from the best growers in the area. In the fragmented region of Burgundy, this is the only way to produce significant quantities of fine and consistent wine. Over the years, they have acquired vineyards, becoming the largest vineyard owner in the region with over 200 hectares. The winemaking skills and resources they possess have made Bacchus's head, emblematic of quality, the symbol of the house. Only a small fraction of Burgundy's most famous grower-producers reach this level of quality. Louis Jadot's wine selection is impressive and representative, whether discussing wines from the area, village-level wines, palate-pleasing Premier Cru vineyards, or dream Grand Cru vineyards.
