Louis Jadot Meursault Chardonnnay
Louis Jadot Meursault Chardonnay is a 750mL white Burgundy from Meursault in the Cote de Beaune, France, made exclusively from Chardonnay. Per Jadot's vineyard note, the hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed and fermented in oak barrels from the house's own cooperage — about one-third new — then aged around 15 months on fine lees, the method behind Meursault's signature combination of richness and finesse. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Golden Slope's Richest Village White
Meursault is the centre of the Cote des Blancs — the stretch of the Cote de Beaune named for its white wines — and it holds the most extensive vineyards in the Cote de Beaune, roughly 30% Premier Cru and 70% village. Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859 and still based in Beaune, ferments its Meursault in barrels made by its own cooperage, a level of control few negociants match.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Fragrant and ripe, with hazelnut and spice nuances, per Jadot's note. Palate: Full-fruited and generous with a supple texture. Finish: Persistent, with finesse.
How to Enjoy
Jadot's own pairing guidance: fish in cream sauce, shellfish, poultry with cream and white meat — the classic Meursault matches, where the wine's richness meets the sauce and its freshness cuts through it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Meursault always Chardonnay? Yes — Meursault's reputation is built entirely on Chardonnay grown on its chalk and white marl soils, and Jadot's bottling is exclusively Chardonnay.
Is it oaked? Yes. Unlike Jadot's unoaked Macon-Villages, the Meursault is fermented in oak barrels from the house cooperage, about one-third new, and aged on fine lees — that is where its hazelnut and spice character comes from.
How long can it cellar? Retailers reproducing Jadot material suggest roughly 8–15 years in good conditions for the village wine, though it drinks beautifully on release with rich food.
