Beaune Blanc 2019 6x75cl
A good counterpart to our Beaune Rouge wines, it is full bodied and will age well.
Vineyards
Beaune vineyards are the most extensive of the Côte de Beaune, between Savigny to the North, and Pommard to the South. There are no Grand Cru vineyards in this commune, but 36 Premiers Crus. There is little white wine in Beaune. Louis Jadot Beaune white is a blend of two vineyards: one located underneath the Premier Cru Bressandes on top of the Beaune hill, the other one at the foot of the hill close to a water source.
Vintage
A season of extreme summer temperatures and one of the hottest and sunniest on record which led to lower yields. However, whilst yields are low, the quality and concentration is outstanding, with wines of great character.
Winemaking
Grapes are harvested Hand and put in small cases in order not to damage the fruits. Grapes are pressed softly, and fermented in oak barrels - of which 1/3 are new barrels. Ageing usually lasts 15 months on fine lees before bottling.
