The 2023 Louis Jadot Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules is a 100% Pinot Noir from a historic walled monopole within the Vignes Franches Premier Cru. Owned by the Jadot family since 1826, the vineyard produces a structured expression of Beaune, with aromas of cherry and wild berries alongside rose petal, orange peel, earthy notes and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with layered red and dark fruit, fresh acidity and dense yet fine-grained tannins. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in open vats before approximately 16–18 months of oak maturation, adding subtle spice and depth. The finish is long, silky and savoury, balancing the concentration of the 2023 vintage with freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Burgundy drinkers who enjoy structured Premier Cru Pinot Noir with fine tannins and strong ageing potential. Louis Jadot suggests 10 years or more, potentially 15–20 years, of cellaring. Pair with roast duck, lamb, beef bourguignon, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or mature cheeses.
