Louis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes

DescriptionLouis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru “Clos des Guettes”��️ SummaryA refined and expressive Bourgogne red from the Côte de Beaune, this “Clos des Guettes” by Maison Louis Jadot delivers elegant Pinot Noir character with stunning balance and ageing potential.�� Tasting NotesDeep ruby red with garnet hues. On the nose expect vibrant aromas of raspberry, cherry, blackberry and orange zest, often accompanied by subtle earthy undergrowth and spice. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied yet generous, with smooth, polished tannins, lively acidity, and a long finish marked by red fruit, mineral nuance and elegant structure. �� Food PairingPairs beautifully with roast duck, game birds, lamb, beef tataki, charcuterie, or aged soft cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C and decant for 30 minutes if young to allow aromas and texture to open.�� Winemaking & StoryProduced by historic house Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, the “Clos des Guettes” vineyard sits within the Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation on the Côte d’Or. Vines in this premier cru site grow on light, well-drained chalky and gravel soils (220-360 m altitude) with exposures that enhance ripening yet maintain freshness. Winemaking for the 1er Cru involves manual harvesting, destemming, a 3-4 week maceration, and around 18 months in French oak barrels, about one third of which may be new, to add depth without overpowering the fruit. ⚙️ Product DetailsProducer: Maison Louis Jadot Region: Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir ABV: ~13.5% Style: Dry, elegant red with structure and finesse Closure: Cork Bottle Size: 75 cl Allergens: Contains sulphites Dietary Info: Suitable for vegetarians/vegans Serving Temp: 16–18 °C Aging Potential: 5-10 years or more depending on vintage
