2022 Louis Jadot Bourgogne Pinot Noir Couvent des Jacobins

Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy’s most established and respected producers, with a reputation for making wines that are both reliable and true to their origins. Their Bourgogne-level Pinot Noir, the Couvent des Jacobins, is a perfect introduction to the house style and a great value way into Burgundy.

The fruit is sourced from a mix of vineyards across the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise, giving a balance of ripeness and freshness. In 2022, the warm, generous vintage delivered plenty of supple red fruit, but Jadot’s light touch in the cellar keeps things elegant. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with a portion aged in oak, adding just enough texture and spice without overshadowing the fruit.

It’s a Pinot that’s approachable, versatile and exactly what you want from a regional Burgundy: juicy, medium-bodied, and effortlessly drinkable. Whether you’re dipping your toe into Burgundy for the first time or just after a bottle that doesn’t break the bank, this is a safe bet.
