Louis Jadot Les Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru 2021

Founded in 1859 by Louis Henri Denis Jadot, Maison Louis Jadot has spent nearly two centuries championing the integrity of Burgundy’s great terroirs. The story began earlier still, in 1826, with the purchase of the Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules — a single parcel that set the tone for a legacy built on respect for place. Based in Beaune, in a cellar with 16th-century origins, the house has grown from a family domaine into one of Burgundy’s most respected négociants, uniting hundreds of parcels across the Côte d’Or, Chablis, Côte Chalonnaise, and Beaujolais.

Viticulture remains hands-on, with an emphasis on biodiversity, balanced yields, and the preservation of vine genetics through their own nursery, established in 1995. This dedication extends to active membership in the Association to Safeguard the Diversity of Burgundian Grape Varieties, ensuring old-vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay genetics endure for future generations. State-of-the-art wineries in Beaune, Givry, and Saint-Étienne-des-Ouillères allow for precision vinification across regional and village appellations, while long-standing grower relationships anchor quality from vineyard to bottle.
