Louis Jadot Montrachet Grand Cru is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Le Montrachet is situated to the south of the Côte de Beaune, on both villages of Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne Montrachet (like the Batard Montrachet Grand Cru).
The terroir is extremely chalky with a lot of stones, perfectly drained and easy to overheat with south-south-eastern exposition.
The Montrachet is produced with Chardonnay
Grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases in order not to damage the fruits. Grapes are pressed softly, they ferment in oak barrels produced by our cooperage. 1/3 are new barrels. Aging usually lasts 15 months on fine lies before bottling.
Review:
Aromas of buttered toast, honeyed peaches, white flowers and mint introduce the 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, layered and enveloping wine that's satiny and sumptuous, with lively acids and fine depth at the core. While I'd give the nod to the stunning Demoiselles as Jadot's best white wine this year, this Montrachet—purchased from the Chassagne-Montrachet side, from the house's usual source—is undeniably promising.

Composition is a remarkable collaboration between Bertrand de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and Katrina Rank, a talented Oregon-based winemaker. Together, they bring a uniquely Franco-Oregonian perspective to Pinot Noir, merging Burgundian philosophy with the vibrant expression of Willamette Valley terroir.
The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where the cool maritime climate and volcanic soils produce Pinot Noir of remarkable finesse and complexity. Aged 10 months in oak barrels with 30% new oak, the wine is crafted to highlight purity of fruit while allowing gentle structural support. 13% alcohol.
The Composition Pinot Noir delivers a light and perfumed style with layers of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle floral notes, supported by fine-grained tannins and bright, refreshing acidity. A wine of elegance and restraint that reflects the harmony between two great winemaking traditions.
