Bourgogne Blanc 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Louis Jadot Chardonnay is vinified and blended from 100% Chardonnay grapes selected from quality growers in the Côte d’Or and the Côte Mâconnais. The wine is classified “Bourgogne Blanc” in appellation, but a proportion of superior village-level wines is added in most vintages to optimize the quality of the final blend. Made in a more full-bodied and structured style than Jadot’s Chardonnay, the wine is partially fermented and aged in oak casks for about 8 months to add a rich, round character.
Harvest Note
The weather in the beginning of the growing season was ideal and the vegetative cycle began as expected. The summer was very hot, hitting record temperatures with abundent sunshine. August was cool and rainy, steadying the ripening pace after the dry summer. Sunny, dry weather at the end of the August, allowed the grapes to successfully finish ripening. Harvest began in early September.
Tasting Note
With fresh floral aromas, the wine shows elegant, rich fruit on the palate. This is one of the purest expressions of Chardonnay in Burgundy.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
