The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Louis Jadot is the undisputed leader in Burgundy, a prestigious House like few others that manages to create a wide variety of wines with the same quality and standards of excellence each year. With more than 150 years of history, a multiple of great terroirs and an unbroken passion for the vinification of great french wines, this splendid institution is still one of the region’s best, thanks to its classic yet effective winemaking style that knows how to bring out the very best of terroir and vintage.
Wine The 2017 red Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans offers a particularly refined reading of this terroir, with notes of perfectly ripe red fruits mixed with wild flowers. The woodiness is very well integrated, the palate sapid, balanced, expressing great freshness and refined tannins in a great persistence. Impeccable style and expression!
Vinification Hand harvested, total destemming. Vinification in open vats for about 4 weeks and ageing in oak barrels for 18 months.
