Rémi Genot - By the Bell Tower
Thomas Seiter will join Maison Louis Jadot next November before taking over as president on January 1, 2023. He will succeed Pierre-Henry Gagey, a prominent figure in Burgundy over the past few decades, who succeeded his father André Gagey and has led the renowned Beaune-based Maison for 31 years. His son, Thibault Gagey, will assume the role of managing director.
A graduate of INSEEC and Berkeley University, Thomas Seiter, 47, had been the general manager of Maisons Bouchard Père & Fils ( Beaune ) and William Fèvre ( Chablis ) within the family group Maisons & Domaines Henriot since 2018, thus returning to Burgundy after a childhood spent in Gevrey-Chambertin.
Thomas Seiter began his career at Moët Hennessy, from 1998 to 2012, initially as a financial analyst before assuming responsibilities in Commercial and Marketing Management and General Management within various subsidiaries of the group (Hong Kong and Singapore), as well as at the holding company; he then took over the management of several players in the Wines & Spirits sector, notably the Champagne Maison Charles Heidsieck (EPI group).
ABOUT THE LOUIS JADOT MAISON
Founded in 1859, the Beaune-based Maison Louis Jadot is today one of the most prestigious in Burgundy. It cultivates 225 hectares of vines located in the finest Climats, from regional appellations to Grand Cru vineyards, and produces only Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wines from the heart of Burgundy . The maison are located in the Côte-d'Or, as well as in the Mâconnais (Ferret) and Beaujolais ( Château des Jacques).
At Louis Jadot , everything is done to create wines that are true to the purest expression of their terroir, while adhering to exemplary vineyard management: "healthy, well-ripened grapes will undoubtedly produce a quality wine." Organic viticulture certification was initiated on July 30, 2021. In rouge and blanc , the Jadot maison 's DNA is to produce wines that reflect their terroir, are structured, and have excellent aging potential. In 2012, Frédéric Barnier succeeded Jacques Lardière as the maison 's technical director.
Vintages-harvests
For Fabien Leduc, a consultant at Terroirist, there was nothing miraculous about it: at the end of May, the vines were at their peak thanks to a wet winter, a mild spring, and a very abundant grape set. These factors also allowed them to establish deep roots where water remained available. […]
Heritage-history
On September 19th, the Château of Clos of Vougeot will host the second edition of " Clos of Vougeot for the Abbey of Cîteaux.” Supported by the Heritage Foundation and the Brotherhood of Knights of Tastevin This sale, orchestrated by Christie's, will bring together the biggest names in Burgundy around a common cause: to finance the restoration of the Definitory of the Abbey of Cîteaux.
Small in volume but generous in alcohol content, the 2026 harvest, which is nearing its end for many winemakers, is making a lasting impression. Beaujolais While the southern part of the vineyard seems to be in a better position, the quality of the vintage will depend in part on the winemakers' ability to properly manage the sugar-acidity (im)balances.
