Burgundy, France
Maison Louis Jadot’s story can’t be reduced to a simple list of dates. It is, above all, a summary of moments, meetings and an overall philosophy, all based on one simple vision: to maintain the grandeur of Burgundy’s great terroirs for all time.
It all began with a parcel of vines. And we all know just how important these individual bits of land are in Burgundy. It was with the purchase of the Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules that the story of Maison Louis Jadot began in 1826. For nearly 200 years they have focused their energies on promoting Burgundy and its viticultural heritage. Ever since the birth of Maison Louis Jadot, they have managed to reunite hundreds of parcels of vines, handing them down from one generation to another in order to guarantee the quality of the wines from this unique terroir.

More Info
Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the five villages of the Cote de Blancs. Premier Cru vineyards face east and southeast, and the Chardonnay grapes are grown in soils of brown clay and limestone. Abbaye de Morgeot is situated in the south of the commune, in the area of an old abbey. The wine is fermented in oak barrels, and then matured in barrel for 12 to 15 months before bottling.

"The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeot 1er Cru has the best, most complex and well-defined bouquet amongst Jadot's Chassagne, demonstrating more mineralité and nuance. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's pretty saline in the mouth, with impressive depth and extract on the finish. This should drink beautifully over the next 15-20 years."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Jan/2022

"One of the standouts of the range is the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless wine evocative of pear, orange oil and pastry cream. Bright and chalky, it's beautifully balanced and built to age."
Wine Spectator, Jul/2022

"Lush and expressive, with lime blossom, peach, melon and butter pastry aromas and flavors. Mouthfilling and harmonious, showing good underlying acidity and a long, pastry- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2027. 35 cases imported."

"Notes of orange oil, fresh pastry, pear and warm bread preface the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping wine that's lively and charming, with a generous core of fruit girdled by lively acids."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Nov/2019
2018 -
"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeot 1er Cru has a pure, seductive, quintessentially Chassagne bouquet of dried honey, yellow flowers and light peach skin, all very well defined. The palate is taut on the entry, focused and full of energy, offering tangy marmalade and peach notes and veins of passion fruit and star fruit that segue into a spicy, persistent finish. Delicious, though I would favor drinking in the near term."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Jan/2020

"Open and expressive, the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot (Domaine Louis Jadot) bursts with aromas of orange oil, pear, peach and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming, with a delicately fleshy, giving profile."
Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, Jan/2019
2017 -
"The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot (Domaine Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with aromas of tart pear, green apple, honeycomb, spices and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and dense, with succulent acids, chewy extract and a long, saline finish. This is well worth seeking out."
Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Jan/2019
2016 -
"From bottle, the 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing well, offering up an expressive bouquet of buttered orchard fruit, honeyed peaches and beeswax. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and unctuous, with a dramatic, textural attack, a fleshy mid-palate and a lavish finish. This is marked by the frost but has turned out well, making for a gourmand Chassagne that will offer near-term gratification."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Sept/2017
2015 -
"Full straw-yellow. Aromas of yellow peach and spices are complemented by a honeyed nuance. Broad and rich but with good citrus lift to its white peach and lemon flavors. A distinct step up in energy and definition from the Baudines. Sound acidity frames and extends the finish."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Sept/2016
2014 -
"Lemon, white peach and white flowers on the vibrant nose. Juicy, pliant and intense, displaying excellent inner-mouth aromatic lift to its ripe flavors of lemon oil and pear. Ripe acidity energizes the mid-palate and extends the finish. Very successful in 2014. In fact, Frédéric Barnier noted that this was one of the rare vintages with no frost or hail in this vineyard."
Wine Spectator, Mar/2016
2013 -
"Candied lemon, honey, floral, spice and mineral notes are embedded in the svelte structure of this white. Turns leaner and more austere on the finish, yet the spice and stone elements linger. Gains richness with air."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Sept/2015
2013 -
"Peach, apple, pear and clove on the rather cool nose. Juicy, intense and mineral-driven; precise and delineated."
