Champ de Cour Moulin-à-Vent Maison Louis Jadot 1997
The 1997 Champ de Cour is a French red wine from the Moulin-à-Vent appellation in the Beaujolais region, produced by the renowned Maison Louis Jadot. The wine originates from the Champ de Cour vineyard, associated with the Chateau des Jacques estate. As noted on the label, the wine was entirely harvested, vinified, aged, and bottled by Louis Jadot.
Maison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in Beaune. Over more than a century and a half, it has grown into one of Burgundy's largest private landowners, managing 240 hectares and a portfolio of 154 different cuvées from the Mâconnais in the south to Chablis in the north. Although no longer owned by the founding family—having been acquired by the American Kobrand Corporation through the Rainer family in 1985—the house maintains a classic Côte d'Or approach with a strong focus on sustainability and terroir. The 1997 vintage was created during the era of the iconic winemaker Jacques Lardière, who directed the winemaking with remarkable continuity from 1970 until 2012.
The wine is made exclusively from Gamay, a classic French grape variety that finds its primary homeland in the Beaujolais and Loire regions. Beaujolais is located just south of Burgundy, and while the region produces various styles, its highest quality is found in the ten designated cru villages.
Moulin-à-Vent is situated in the northern part of Beaujolais, extending across the communes of Chénas and Romanèche-Thorins. The appellation is named after a 300-year-old windmill that still stands on the hill overlooking the vineyards. Often referred to as the "King of Beaujolais," Moulin-à-Vent stands out among the ten crus. The Gamay vines in this specific area are grown on pink granite soils that contain an unusually high concentration of manganese. This unique geological feature naturally restricts the yield of the vines, resulting in highly concentrated grapes.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Beaujolais
Beaujolais south of Burgundy is the homeland of the Gamay grape. The area became world-famous for the young, fruity Beaujolais Nouveau, but the real quality lies in the ten cru villages such as Morgon and Fleurie. The granite subsoil yields juicy, light red wines with fresh acidity and aromas of red berries, flowers and spice. A classic and incredibly food-friendly French red wine region.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
