Beaune vineyards are the most extensive in the Cote de Beaune region, between Savigny to the North and Pommard to the South. There are no Grand Cru vineyards in this village, but 36 Premiers Crus. The Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules is a walled-in portion of the Beaune 1er Cru Vignes Franches. It was purchased in 1826 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot and has remained a property owned by the Jadot family. Destemmed grapes ferment in vats for 3 to 4 weeks. Ageing occurs in oak barrels produced by our cooperage Cadus for 18 months.

Winery | The Clos des Ursules once belonged to the convent of Saint Ursule when the wall separating it from the rest of Les Vignes Franches was built. In 1826, it was the first vineyard that Louis Henry Denis Jadot bought, and it has remained a Jadot family "monopole" ever since. The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented as naturally as possible in open tanks. The wine usually undergoes a fairly long fermentation (25 to 33 days) to extract colour, tannins, and aromas. The wine is then aged in wooden barrels for 15-18 months. |
