My faves are usually CSJ and Bonnes Mares, but due to value Ursules is Jadot I have more of.
I will say that at a blind dinner this week the '96 Corton-Pougets was one of my favorite wines, in a lineup with a lot of pricier wines. That showing, plus a stunning '89 a couple years ago, will make me look for that bottling more (all I own is '90, which is very '90 )
In order of preference (factoring in quality, price and personal taste):
Ursules
Clos St. Jacques
Estournelles St. Jacques
Corton Pougets
Bonnes Mares
Not only my favorite Jadot white, but also one of my favorite in Burgundy. Looking to try them post DIAM after losing a few 04 to 07 to POX. Really like their Corton Charlemagne too.
For reds…
Ursules
Clos St. Jacques
Greves
Corton Pougets
Bonnes Mares
Suchots
I was at said dinner and the Pougets was also one of my top wines, close to WOTN. I also very impressed by the 2014 Pougets tasted at the Domaine.
I would agree that the Jadot domaine whites under diam have been excellent lately. A 2017 Savigny Clos des Guettes stands out for me as a recent example.
What about their Les Fuees?
Lots of goodies mentioned above. I personally think the CM Baudes is a sleeper from Jadot - same with the Drouhin version. Fun stuff if you ask me!
Their Fuees is excellent. Then again, most Fuees I’ve had are excellent. I recently had the 2008 and 2009 about a week apart and they were beguiling. Even more so that one was red-fruited and the next blue-fruited.
I’ve also enjoyed the Savigny Dominode. Beautiful in 17 and for $40-50 a serious bargain.

I guess I’m happy to see that it hasn’t been mentioned yet…but I really enjoy the Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre. In particular the 93 & 95 have both been stand-outs for me. I enjoyed the 2002, but it needs time and I’ve decided that it’s worthwhile to wait at least until the 22 year mark…
Interesting. I never knew that Jadot made that Volnay. I will have to find a bottle to try.
Agree with both of you. If that dinner came before my earlier post I would have included the Pougets just based on that bottle (I think it’s the first time I’ve tried it).
There’s a smattering of 2017 Louis Jadot Domaine Gagey Marsannay Clos du Roy on WineBid this week at $25.
We had a bottle of the 2017 Louis Jadot ‘La Dominode’ [Savigny Les Beaune] before going to the movies last night and it was - as RyanC notes - very enjoyable. 13% abv, medium bodied, red raspberry fruit, with some earthy tannin and wood. It’s more savory then fruit forward, at least for my palate, but has some acid to balance things out. Each glass was better than the last, and perhaps opening it at age six was a mistake, since it has the reputation for aging. This 1er cru bottling is a domaine wine, FWIW. I’ll give it a B+ on my scorecard, but I assume others would like it more.
