Within Vigne Franche
Clos des Ursules is a walled vineyard within the Vignes Franches of Beaune. Even when a wine has a standalone label, it may reside geographically within a broader vineyard.
Read the ownership title.
The official page uses the designation Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot and states this vineyard has been owned since 1826. Adding information about who owns the vineyard, not just the maison name, clarifies the wine’s provenance.
A monopole can still be Premier Cru
This wine is a monopole and is classified as a Premier Cru. Do not equate single ownership with Grand Cru status—record ownership and classification in two separate fields.
