The terroir
Located in the Burgundy wine region of France, Nuits-Saint-Georges is famous for its red wines made from the Pinot Noir grape variety.
The soils are mainly composed of limestone and clay, with variations depending on the plot. This combination of soils contributes to the complexity of the wines, giving them a mineral structure and depth of flavor.
The climate of Nuits-Saint-Georges is temperate, with warm summers and cold winters. However, due to its slightly more northerly position compared to other Burgundy vineyards, the harvest can be later, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex aromas.
The Nuits-Saint-Georges region is steeped in a long winemaking tradition, dating back centuries. Local winemakers have developed expertise in growing Pinot Noir and in the art of vinifying high-quality red wines, which is reflected in the wines produced by respected houses such as Louis Jadot.

The Pinot Noir, carefully cultivated in the estate's vineyards, benefits from the region's characteristic clay-limestone soil, as well as a microclimate conducive to its development. Manual harvests ensure a careful selection of the grapes, guaranteeing the quality and authenticity of the wine.
