1999 Corton Pougets
Buying options
Tasting notes
Beautifully detailed fruit that is quite feminine in character compared to the Grèves. Rich, sappy and intense flavors display grand cru intensity, length and structure. There is impressive density here to go with a sweetness that comes from the thick pinot extract. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Apr01,2001.

The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Corton-Pougets (domaine) has a magnificent nose of intensely sweet cherries. Medium-bodied and dense, it is crammed with blackberries, cassis, cherries, and firm yet ripe tannin. This wine will require cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2012+.

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.
