ABOUT: Louis Jadot was founded in Beaune by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in 1859. After 30 years with Pierre-Henry Gagey running the business, it is now Thomas Seiter who manages things. Jadot produce wines from 150+ appellations, from Beaujolais-Villages to Grand Cru Le Musigny. Since 1985, the core business has been owned by an American family, the Kopfs, who invested further in vineyards, although look out for the ‘Heritiers’ bottlings (marked on the bottom of the label) that are from the original vineyards that the Jadots wisely kept, when they sold the estate and business.
