Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. He quickly developed a reputation as a high quality producer. He wanted to build his reputation as a top quality Winemaker in Burgundy. Therefore he continued to purchase vineyards to add to the family's earlier purchase of Beaune Clos des Ursules and Chevalier Montrachet les Demoiselles vineyards.
His Grandson, who took over at the end of WWII continued to build Jadot's Domaine holdings by acquiring Grand Cru vineyards in Corton Pougets and Corton Charlemagne. In 1962 following the tragic death of Louis Auguste Jadot, Andre Gagey, his assistant, was entrusted by Madame Jadot with the management of Maison Louis Jadot. It was over the following 30 years that the reputation of Maison Louis Jadot rose to its current International status. In 1985 they acquired the prestigious Clair Dau Estate. This Domaine included vineyards in Bonnes Mares, Chambertin Clos de Beze, Musigny and Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru, Clos St Jacques. 1992 Andre Gagey handed over to his son Pierre-Henry who has continued to develop Maison Louis Jadot into one of the largest vineyard owners in the Cote d'Or. In 1993 he acquired the whole of the Santenay Clos de Malte vineyard. Then in 1995 the House acquired Premier Cru holdings in Puligny Montrachet, Savigny Les Beaune, Pernand Vergelesses and increased holdings in Corton Grand Cru.
1996 was one of the most significant years in the history of Maison Louis Jadot. In the early part of the year they purchased vineyards in six different Premier Cru or Grand Cru appellations and then in October they bought the jewel of Beaujolais, the Chateau des Jacques in Moulin a Vent. This realised their long-term wish to acquire a quality estate in Beaujolais. |
