The wine was harvested, vinified, aged, and bottled by the house under the Domaine Louis Jadot and Château des Jacques brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in Beaune, Maison Louis Jadot has grown over more than a century and a half into one of Burgundy's largest and most renowned wine houses. With 240 hectares of land, the estate is one of the largest private landowners in Burgundy, managing a portfolio of 154 different cuvées. Since 1985, the house has been under American ownership by the Kobrand Corporation through the Rainer family. The estate maintains a classic Côte d'Or approach with a strong emphasis on sustainability and terroir. During the 1998 vintage, the winemaking was directed by Jacques Lardière, who oversaw production from 1970 to 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Moulin-à-Vent, located in the northern part of the Beaujolais region south of Burgundy. Spanning the communes of Chénas and Romanèche-Thorins, the area is named after a 300-year-old windmill that still stands on the hill above the vineyards. Often referred to as the \"King of Beaujolais,\" Moulin-à-Vent is recognized as the most structured of the ten Beaujolais Crus. The vineyards are situated on pink granite soils with an unusually high concentration of manganese, which naturally lowers yields and produces highly concentrated grapes, resulting in an atypical Beaujolais style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cuvée is made entirely from Gamay, a French grape variety that has its historical homeland in Beaujolais and is also frequently found in the Loire Valley. The granite subsoil of the region provides an ideal foundation for cultivating this specific variety.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Louis Jadot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670301221190,"sku":null,"price":150.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1664_aba4a9de-b9d2-4b0e-9ca3-a26e1e207124.jpg?v=1792578286","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/moulin-a-vent-louis-jadot-1998","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
