We’re finally seeing the arrival of some of the winemakers and Export Managers of big houses back in the Edmonton market. deVine welcomes Thibaut Marquis of Maison Jadot for a stand-up tasting on Tuesday, October 4 at 7pm.
Maison Louis Jadot is a winery that was founded by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in 1859. The first vineyard bought by the Jadot family is the now famous Beaune Monopole vineyard, Clos des Ursules, in 1826. The family wine company not only produces their own wines, but also markets Burgundy wine. It operates both its own vineyards and buys grapes from other growers. It controls 270 hectares (670 acres) of vineyards in Burgundy (including Beaujolais Crus), all of which are AOC denominated wines, making them one of the most significant negotiants in the region.
Monsieur Marquis is the Export Director for USA and Canada. He will lead us through a couple of white Burgundies, a Beaujolais Cru, three Premier Cru Reds and a Grand Cru Red. This is a must for those who want to delve into the mystery that is Burgundy with this venerable old house! Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at its best, not to be missed. Only 34 spots available so book early to avoid disappointment.
