Vintage Character The 2012 Beaune ‘Cent Vignes’ Premier Cru from Louis Jadot is a graceful Burgundy shaped by a challenging yet ultimately rewarding vintage. A difficult spring with frost and hail reduced yields, but a warm, dry late summer allowed the remaining fruit to ripen fully, producing concentrated berries with freshness and fine acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it shows a bright ruby color and aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, lifted by violets and spice, while the palate is supple yet structured with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral‑tinged finish. It pairs beautifully with roast duck breast, coq au vin, or creamy Époisses, offering both immediate charm and the ability to evolve gracefully in bottle.
Winery Background Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, is one of Burgundy’s most respected producers, with extensive holdings across the Côte d’Or and beyond.
The estate’s philosophy emphasizes respect for terroir, using careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking to highlight the individuality of each cru. The historic ‘Cent Vignes’ vineyard, on the eastern side of Beaune, is renowned for wines that combine the appellation’s natural generosity with finesse and aromatic lift. The 2012 vintage reflects both the challenges and triumphs of the year, standing as a testament to Jadot’s ability to craft wines of authenticity, balance, and enduring appeal.
