Jadot - what was the first vintage in the new Cuverie

Does anyone know the first vintage processed in the Jadot Savigny les Beaune cuverie ?

Not sure. Why do you ask? Do you see a quality change? I once read a complaint about the 2008 and 2009 reds. My experience has been a bit mixed

Jadot Opens New Winery in Burgundy

Maison Louis Jadot inaugurated Burgundy’s most modern winemaking facility in early June before 350 guests, including Jadot’s American owners–Patricia Colagiuri, Sue Mueller and Brenda Helies. They’re the daughters of Rudolph C. Kopf, the founder of New York-based importer Kobrand Corp., which his daughters still control.

The futuristic, circular, $8 million winery is lined with 80 tanks of a total capacity equal to 220,000 cases. In the inner circle stand wooden cuvees used for making top wines from smaller parcels, such as grands crus. The outer circle consists of larger stainless steel tanks.

Winemaker Jacques Lardière asked for this layout, intended to ease the task of making Jadot’s many wines–up to 140 different bottlings in some vintages. Beneath the 33,333-square-foot winery is a fermentation cellar and an aging cellar with a capacity of 6,000 barriques.

Anthony,

Here’s the post which breaks down all of the Jadot wineries.

Thanks Leo for that very prompt research ! I was motivated by Don Cornwell’s research that shows 2000 as the dividing line for premox with Jadot and was wondering if different handling in the new cuverie was a contributor.

Isn’t the new winery still in Beaune, not Savigny. It is south of the highway.

Yup, the winery is in Beaune, just outside the walls, on the road that goes to Savigny which might have confused Anthony

Correct. My confusion. The one on the way to the le Clerc supermarket.

Visited there this Fall. It’s a beautiful facility.

I hope they sell it to a super-villain. It would make a perfect evil lair, and the could launch rockets out of the big volcano.
