## About this wine

Maison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 in Beaune, Burgundy. The Couvent des Jacobins cuvée is named in honor of the 13th-century Dominican convent in Beaune where Louis Jadot was established. Sourced across Burgundy's notable sub-districts including the Côte d'Or, Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Mercurey, and Irancy, this wine utilizes traditional blending practices to maintain consistent depth and quality across vintages.

## Interesting facts

## Food pairing

This red Burgundy offers fresh acidity, silky tannins, and subtle fruit intensity. It pairs beautifully with lean meats, roasted poultry, duck, and firm salmon, as well as soft cheeses that benefit from bright acidity to balance richness.

## Wine making process

Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented for roughly two weeks with gentle extraction. The wine ages for 9 to 16 months in a combination of French oak barrels crafted at Maison Louis Jadot's own Cadus cooperage and stainless steel or concrete vats to retain fresh varietal characteristics.
