ABOUT THIS WINE
The Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 from Domaine Louis Jadot is a distinguished Pinot Noir from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation in Burgundy. The vineyard parcel is situated next to the renowned Clos de Beze and features some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Jadot collection, planted between 1920 and 1921. The 2021 growing season was marked by difficult weather, including an April frost and a cool, wet summer, which led to reduced yields but concentrated, pure fruit. Maison Louis Jadot, established nearly 160 years ago, owns over 150 hectares of vineyards across Burgundy, with Chef de Cave Frédéric Barnier guiding their winemaking philosophy to produce wines that express the diversity of the region. This particular wine is considered a collectable gem within Jadot's Grand Cru offerings due to its limited production and the unique characteristics derived from its historic vines and challenging vintage.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru begins with a manual harvest of the Pinot Noir grapes into small crates. Fermentation occurs in vats over a period of 3 to 4 weeks, allowing for significant extraction. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, with a proportion of new oak used. This careful maturation process is designed to develop the wine's structure and integrate its complex flavors.
