Tasting notes
Good dark red-ruby. Pungent aromas of black raspberry, minerals and meat; the masculine side of Corton. Fat, dry, rich and powerful; a classically styled, ripe-vintage wine from a cooler site. Less refined than the Pougets but conveys a thicker sense of extract. This too possesses very good energy, and finishes with firm, building tannins.

Here the nose is more obviously marked by its wood and it's slightly riper aromatically as well with more of the feral quality that Corton can have. The very rich, full and sweet flavors are admirably concentrated, well muscled and powerful, blessed with ample dry extract that really coats the palate on the robust, long and driving finish. This is distinctly different from the Pougets and trades elegance for more power. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Apr01,2007.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
