The vineyard

This Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" Monopole 2021 from the Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot is a Beaune wine stemming from a vineyard located between Savigny-lès-Beaune in the north of the appellation and Pommard in the south – one of the most sprawling estates in the Côte de Beaune. Acquired in 1826 by Louis Jadot, the "Clos des Ursules" is a walled micro-plot in the heart of the Beaune Premier Cru "Les Vignes Franches."

The vintage

2021 was a year marked by severe frost at the beginning of April in Burgundy and unstable weather conditions throughout the year in Burgundy. Despite a below-average harvest, the quality is reflected through the floral and well-balanced white wines as well as vibrant, full and aromatic red wines.

Winemaking and ageing

Following the harvest, the groups were carefully destemmed and vinified in open vats over four weeks. After being drawn off, the wines were funneled into oak casks in the estate’s cellars for an ageing period of 18 months.

Blend

Pinot Noir (100%)
