Crisp Green Apples, White Peach, Crushed Limestone, and Jadot’s Monopole Finesse

The 2023 Domaine Louis Jadot Santenay Blanc "Clos de Malte" is a bright, chiseled white Burgundy from Jadot's exclusive 7-hectare monopole in the southern Côte de Beaune. Sourced from cool, high-elevation slopes beneath the Montagne des Trois Croix, it opens with pure aromas of crisp green apples, white peaches, citrus blossom, and toasted hazelnuts. Medium-bodied and textural, it combines juicy orchard fruit with vibrant limestone acidity, finishing clean, mouth-watering, and persistent.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
James Suckling 91 pts
Wine Advocate 90 pts
  • 91 Points - James Suckling: Attractive toasty and nutty aromas are married to generous candied citrus fruit on the silky, medium- to full-bodied palate. The bright, flinty acidity gives this excellent energy. Drink or hold.
  • 90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Aromas of peach, pear, orange zest and toasted nuts introduce the 2023 Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's charming and expressive. It's another solid performance for this reliable bottling.
  • The "Clos de Malte" Monopole Terroir: Situated on the lieu-dit "Sous la Fée" at the foot of the Montagne des Trois Croix in Santenay. While primarily planted to Pinot Noir, a dedicated one-hectare section is planted to Chardonnay in humid, limestone-clay soils. The elevated site benefits from cooling currents flowing down from the hills, which temper summer heat and preserve crisp malic freshness and vibrant mineral drive.
  • Domaine Louis Jadot Savoir-Faire: Bearing the prestigious "Domaine Louis Jadot" estate label, the fruit is hand-harvested and gently pressed prior to fermentation in barrels crafted by Jadot's own Cadus cooperage. Aged for approximately 12 months on fine lees with modest new wood, the élevage emphasizes pure varietal expression, subtle nuttiness, and refreshing tension over heavy wood impact.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw-yellow with shimmering green reflections, it opens with pure, vibrant aromas of crisp green apples, white peaches, and lemon zest, intertwined with nuances of white blossom, toasted hazelnuts, crushed chalk, and faint wet stone. The palate is medium-bodied, linear, and tensile, delivering crunchy orchard fruit framed by a fine textural presence and racy natural acidity, culminating in a clean, persistent, and distinctly saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C in standard Burgundy or wide white wine stemware.
  • Decanting: A brief 15-to-20 minute aeration in the glass allows its citrus energy and floral aromatics to fully blossom. Best enjoyed now through 2031+.
