2020 Louis Jadot Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Domaine des Héritiers $1500 6pack
This is Jadot’s vineyard that has been in the family since the 19th century and has best-facing southern exposure.
98 points, James Suckling “What a sensual nose of Amalfi lemon, ripe mirabelle and apricot this Corton-Charlemagne has! Gigantic fruit and almost as much structure behind it, the fine tannins underlining all this beautifully. Mouthwateringly fresh acidity and a saline touch that really ignites this at the very long, brilliant finish. From the south side of the hill of Corton. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”
“The succulent, concentrated and, unusually for a young Corton-Charlemagne, seductive big-bodied flavors exude an evident stoniness on the palate staining, citrusy, bone-dry and hugely long finish that really fans out as it sits in the mouth. I very much like the balance and this beauty should also age effortlessly.” — *Burghound Sweet Spot!* |
