Jadot purchases a nice domain from Santenay

Louis Jadot, one of the great Burgundy producers, has just acquired the Domaine Prieur-Brunet, a vineyard of 18 hectares spread over prestigious appellations from Côte de Beaune: great addition to Jadot, already present in nearly 130 appellations of Burgundy. The famous Louis Jadot house, anchored in Beaune, with a 225-hectare vineyard from Côte-d'Or, Mâconnais and Beaujolais, extends its wine portfolio in Santenay, by purchasing Prieur-Brunet.

Meursault’s Roulot impresses on auction

Roulot may be less renowned than other Coche-Dury or Auvenay producers, but has emerged as a sought-after success during the recent auction sales of white Burgundy. A key reason for this is that Jean-Marc Roulot’s Meursault wines are not only of exceptional quality, but also with a strong personality and style which is becoming more and more popular.
