deVine and International Cellars Inc. welcome back Thibaut Marquis of Maison Jadot for a free drop-in tasting on Wednesday, November 8 from 5:30 to 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 three wines – a white Macon-Villages, a Monopole red and a Premier Cru red. This is a real treat for those who want to sample one of the strongest negociant and Burgundy houses around. Product arrival precluded us of having a paid event, so we hope you can spare some time to come and say hello to Thibaut and sample a few wines – no pre-registration required, just drop in that evening.
