Louis Jadot

Louis Jadot is practically Burgundy royalty, producing reliable classics since 1859. Their entry-level Bourgogne Chardonnay serves as a perfect introduction to what makes Burgundian whites so sought after – without requiring a financial advisor's approval for purchase. This bottle delivers that signature Burgundian elegance in an approachable package. It's restrained rather than showy, letting the natural character of the fruit and terroir speak for themselves. There's just enough oak to add complexity without overwhelming the delicate fruit – like a perfectly tailored outfit rather than one covered in sequins. For anyone looking to understand why wine people won't stop talking about Burgundy, this is your affordable entry ticket.

There's a reason Louis Jadot's Beaujolais Villages is a classic that can be found on wine lists around the world – it consistently delivers exactly what you want from this beloved French region. Made from 100% Gamay grown in the superior 'Villages' designated areas, this is Beaujolais that's a step up from basic bottles but still wonderfully approachable. Jadot has been producing reliable, quality wines since 1859, and their experience shows in this perfectly balanced Beaujolais. The semi-carbonic maceration method used in the region helps preserve the grape's fresh fruit character while adding that distinctive lightness and drinkability that makes Beaujolais so crowd-pleasing. While Beaujolais Nouveau gets all the seasonal attention, this Villages-level bottle shows why the region deserves year-round appreciation. It's the perfect red for when you want something with genuine French character that won't weigh you down or break the bank.
