Winemaker Notes

The Beaune vineyards are the most extensive of the Côte de Beaune, with a high number of Premiers Crus (36) due to the ideal incline of the majority of these vineyards. The Beaune 1er Cru «Clos des Ursules» is a closed-off portion of the Beaune 1er Cru «Vignes Franches». It was purchased in 1826 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot and has remained a solely owned property of the Jadot family.

Beaune Premier Cru "Clos des Ursules" is a full, firm and rich wine. It is fine, with a slightly earthy bouquet and long, lush finish, converge in a wine which perfectly balances elegance and power. It will develop in the bottle for 10 to 15 years.

It works harmoniously with delicate meat dishes as well as most cheeses.

Critical Acclaim

James Suckling

The purity and beauty to this wine is certainly impressive with raspberry, blueberry and lavender aromas. Simple character on the palate with a full body, chewy and round tannins and a savory finish, leaving flint, dried black-tea and spice on the aftertaste.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules has a refined bouquet, probably the most mineral driven of the three Beaune premier crus under the "Domaine des Héritiers Jadot" label. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, an insistent grip in the mouth, more black fruit surfacing toward the structured, saline, marine-influenced finish. Excellent.
Range: 91-93

The Clos des Ursules is excellent in 2016, its pretty bouquet of red and black cherry, orange rind, rich soil and a top note of violets introducing a supple, full-bodied and fine-grained wine with a deep core of fruit, nicely integrated tannins and lovely energy. Drinking Window 2022 - 2040

Wine Spectator
Captivating aromas of violet, black currant and black cherry are the hallmarks of this elegant red. Intense, featuring saturated flavors driven by vibrant acidity and embedded in the matrix of tannins. Shows excellent length, with a mineral accent. Best from 2022 through 2040.
