“Tasted blind at the annual ‘Burgfest’ tasting in Beaune. Louis Jadot’s 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a lively, full-bodied bouquet with hints of licorice. The medium-bodied palate features soft tannins and dense black fruit, with a structured finish that doesn’t quite deliver the complexity suggested by the initial aromas; however, with some aeration, it reveals subtle nuances and a delicate minerality. This is a great success for winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team. ” (Wine Advocate 2015 – Neal Martin) Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding “Point Relais” delivery method)

Wine rated 17/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

Silky, long, deep, full-bodied, and aromatic.

About the estate:

The Gagey family’s involvement with this true gem of Burgundy’s historical heritage began upon the death of Louis-Auguste Jadot. With no heir, the estate was entrusted in 1962 to André Gagey, who remained its manager until 1991, when he handed the reins to his son Pierre-Henry, who now oversees the 225 hectares of vineyards. Since 2011, winemaking has been overseen by Frédéric Barnier, who has seamlessly succeeded Jacques Lardière, further improving the consistency and uniformity of all the vintages. The white wines are pneumatically pressed and fermented directly in barrels, where they are aged on the lees with periodic stirring for 12 to 20 months. The red wines are vinified with the stems removed but without crushing, without cold pre-fermentation, and undergo a vatting period of 25 to 27 days before beginning their aging for 12 to 22 months in barrels, one-third of which are new.

About the wine:

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Beaune. Louis Jadot’s 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a lively bouquet, with hints of licorice, and good depth. The medium-bodied palate features soft tannins and dense black fruit, with a structured finish that doesn’t quite deliver the complexity suggested by the initial aromas; however, with some aeration, it reveals subtle nuances and a delicate minerality. This is a great success for winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

This prestigious wine merchant is run with great efficiency by Pierre-Henry Gagey, who is deeply involved in Burgundy. The company boasts an exceptionally extensive range and a superb collection of terroirs, including the major Burgundian appellations. Frédéric Barnier, who has been in charge of winemaking since 2012, is gradually making his mark by refining the wines. Consistency is one of this house’s strengths. While the whites display lovely balance, the reds are austere and severe, with oak notes that dominate the fruit—and even hints of acetate that, this year, make it difficult to assess certain vintages. Let’s hope this is only temporary, as the company’s reputation is at stake.
