Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Couchereaux 2015 from Louis Jadot is a refined expression of Premier Cru Burgundy, crafted in the historic heart of the Cote de Beaune. Drawn from the walled vineyard of Clos des Couchereaux— renowned for producing Pinot Noir of structure and aromatic finesse — this vintage reflects both the precision of the site and the long-standing expertise of one of Burgundy’s most respected houses.
The 2015 vintage in Burgundy is celebrated for its balance of ripeness, concentration, and freshness, and this wine captures that harmony beautifully. Careful vineyard stewardship, traditional fermentation, and patient maturation in French oak allow the character of the terroir to shine through with clarity and elegance. The result is a wine that bridges classical Burgundian restraint with the generous fruit of a warm, exceptional year.
Best served slightly below room temperature (around 16–18°C), this Premier Cru Burgundy pairs beautifully with duck breast, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, game birds, or soft-rind cheeses.
