Since the maison's founding in1859, Louis Jadot has been a well-respected name in Burgundy. Producing a number of different Chardonnay wines - and red wine, of course - the house of Jadot is one of the largest wine producers in the region.
This white Burgundy wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the Mâcon-Villages area in Burgundy's Mâconnais region. The alcohol level is 12.5% abv. This wine was purchased at Trader Joe's for $12, if memory serves me.
The wine is colored very lightly in the glass. There is a funky little nose unchilled, which is diminished only slightly when chilled. Herbal, spicy aromas join a restrained citrus note in the bouquet. This white Burgundy is clean and crisp on the palate, with a nice acidity and a somewhat tart taste of lemon zest that plays big on the palate and even bigger on the finish. Did I mention the minerals? They show up by the truckload, as the the chalky soil of the Mâconnais is on display.
