Histoire du domaine
The Jadot family’s history in the wine industry in Beaune dates back to 1826, with the acquisition of the Clos des Ursules, a Beaune Premier Cru. In 1859, Louis Henry Denis Jadot purchased the wine merchant’s firm Lemaire-Fouleux and renamed it after himself. His son, Louis Baptiste Jadot, continued to expand the business and reinvested in the acquisition of vineyards, particularly Premiers Crus and Grands Crus in the Côte d’Or. On Louis Baptiste’s death in 1939, his son Louis Auguste Jadot took over the management of the company and expanded into export markets, including the United States. André Gagey joined the company in 1954 as Louis Auguste Jadot’s deputy, before becoming managing director following the latter’s death in 1962. In 1970, André Gagey recruited the oenologist Jacques Lardière, who went on to become the company’s technical director. In February 1985, Maison Louis Jadot was acquired by the owners of Kobrand Fine Wine & Spirits, the Kopf family. Pierre-Henry Gagey chaired the company from 1992 to 2023. Frédéric Barnier joined Louis Jadot as technical director in 2010 and succeeded Jacques Lardière in overseeing winemaking in 2012. Since 1 January 2023, Thomas Seiter has been chairman of Maison Louis Jadot and Thibault Gagey has been its managing director.
Musigny [Rouge]
Musigny is a Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir in Chambolle-Musigny, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Located above Clos de Vougeot, between the Premier Cru Les Amoureuses and the Grand Cru Échezeaux, it includes the lieux-dits Les Musigny, Les Petits Musigny, and part of La Combe d’Orveau. The vineyard occupies a fairly steep limestone and rocky terrace, the southern part of which rises towards the Combe d’Orveau. The appellation permits red wines and, as a singularity in the Côte de Nuits, a small production of white wine.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation and demarcation of Musigny predate the AOC system: a judgment defining the cru dates from April 16, 1929. The Musigny Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée was initially recognized by the decree of September 11, 1936. The currently demarcated parcel area mentioned in the product specification was approved by the INAO during the sessions of June 1 and 2, 1988.
